On Oct 6, 2020 Viterbo had a Promise to Humanity Farmers Market. We signed up 120+ students and employees to promise to wear a mask, wash her hands, practice social distancing to help the global Coronavirus pandemic. I also signed up 60 more individuals to the Pledge to GO Green Eco Challenge! 

I enjoy experimenting with recipes, and so this one was pretty fun. My sister and I tried soaking cashews as a vegan "cream cheese" to make a healthy salted caramel cheesecake, and it was so good! I hadn't tried that before, but I definitely want to try it again.

Good Job Viterbo University! In 2019 we reduced printed sheets by 77,000, resulting in using 1 less tree, consuming 350.7 less CO2, and using 22,000 less bulb hours, from 2018 measurements.

By saving 8.4% of paper usage in copiers and printers on campus during 2018, we also saved the number of trees consumed by 2, CO2 produced by 704.8kg and  bulb hours used by 44,377.9 hours.

As a campus, we reduced our paper usage in our copiers and printers by 8.4% in 2018 compared to 2017.

At times, this task is more challenging than I first suspected, especially now that I do quite a bit of work in front of a screen. I try not to eat in front of a screen often, but if I do, I find both positives and negatives. I tend to eat slower but I also tend to eat mindlessly. It's easier to keep snacking and overeat because I am distracted...

Viterbo is in 4th place! We need everyone to check in and earn more points. A student from the Student Sustainability Club made a video to show how to check in and earn points. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZOvbplYXq0 

Viterbo moved up to 5th place! Keep up the good work.
