Down to earth, up to us
Down to Earth, Up to Us is an organization comprised of students interested in sustainable practice at URI. The purpose of the organization is to engage the local community in concrete actions that evidence principles of sustainability.
Examples of activities include:
- Designing and posting of stickers promoting reduced energy use and recycling:
- Investigating energy use and research on how to promote the use of green energy on campus. Kaytee Manchester, a junior majoring in Engineering and Adam Memon, a sophomore Biology major, are heading up this effort. Already equipped with a donated solar panel, these two are setting out to teach students, visitors to campus, and sixth graders about alternative energy. Kaytee is a National Wildlife Federation Fellow and has also received financial support from Shaw's Supermarket.
