The Green Fund was proposed by students and passed in a
student referendum in the spring of 2008 by a vote of
2222 to 275. It is a reserve funded by a $5 segregated
fee levied each semester to every student.
This yields
about $80,000 per year.
Applications for projects funded
by this money are collected and reviewed by the Joint
Committee on Environmental Sustainability, then
forwarded to the Student Association Apportionment
Committee, and then proposed for final approval by the
Student Senate.
Students, faculty, and staff are all
encouraged to propose projects and funding from the
Green Fund. We value innovation and cooperation-
greening UW-L is something we must do together.
The
“Environmental Sustainability Reserve” money may be
spent on renewable energy and energy efficiency systems
for non-GPR facilities on the UW-L campus.
