Be proud to be green!

Starting Wednesday, September 10, Vancouver Community College (VCC) will be holding a Random Acts of Green contest, encouraging students, staff and faculty to capture themselves and others getting caught in an act of green.

VCC’s new president, Dr. Peter Nunoda was recently caught in the act of using a re-usable coffee mug.
"This is a small act that over time can help our environment in big ways", says Dr. Nunoda.

Catch your teachers, students, staff members and colleauges, then tweet the photo to @greenvcc or post to VCC’s sustainability Facebook page using #VCCActsofGreen to be entered into a weekly prize draw. The contest will run from Wednesday, September 10 to Monday, October 13.

Acts of green can be anything from:

• Turning off the lights
• Recycling
• Taking transit or cycling to one of the two VCC campuses
• Using a re-usable coffee mug
• Printing less
• Using less paper

These random acts of green add up. Be part of the movement and submit your act of green today!
