As of the start of this spring semester, three committees have defined the SOS structure with each focusing on difference aspects of sustainability: Fridays for Future (climate awareness/education), Eco-Warriors (climate action/education), and the GT Community Garden (gardening).

• Fridays for Future: Due to COVID-19 concerns, this committee no longer meets in person, yet allows you to participate with our #digitalstrike series!
  • Take a photo of you (or with a group) holding a sign/flyer/poster on anything related to increasing climate awareness and/or climate action.
  • Send the photo to Fridays for Future Georgia Tech by:
    • Posting it on your Instagram or Facebook and tagging @fff.gatech
    • Sending it to our social media pages
    • Sending it to sosgeorgiatech@gmail.com
  • Share it with your friends and let them know how they can take action!
• Eco-Warriors: This group, in addition to participating in on-campus cliamte action, aims to educate students on how to use existing sustainable infrastructure (such as recycling, composting) and how a student can take climate action everyday. They will meet twice more for the semester virtually. The link will be posted in the "Eco-Warriors" GroupMe chat.
• GT Community Garden: Due to COVID-19 concerns, all remaining garden work days have been canceled for the semester and until further notice.
• If there is a sustainability work group you wish to see and does not focus on any of the above-mentioned committees, you are free to propose your own committee and, with enough people, we can make it happen :)

• Spring 2020 Virtual Green Meeting
  • Wednesday, April 8, 5:00-6:00pm
  • The objective is to enhance GT sustainable communication with partnerships, discussions, and more! If you are a member of a sustainability-related organization and/or want to find out more on current sustainability initiatives, this is the meeting for you!

• SOS Speaker Series: GT Recycling & Waste (3/5/20): Our first, and unfortunately the last [due to COVID-19], speaker series for the semester featured Emma Brodzik from the Office of Recycling & Solid Waste Management. With an estimated attendance of about 27 people and plenty of vegan donuts, we were glad to see students eager to learn about the recycling process on campus!
• Fridays for Future Weekly Tabling (3/6/20): Our last tabling for the semester featured more climate action! We partnered with Citizens' Climate Lobby to allow for students to take quick climate action by sending their representatives a message.
• Fridays for Future #DigitalStrike (3/20/20-): Due to COVID-19 concerns, we have moved to an online platform to allow for students (and faculty) to participate in an online series for demanding climate action. The simple steps to participate are listed above under the "Committees Update."
• Garden Work Day (3/8/20): The Garden commtitee met earlier in March to plant some seeds and maintain the Georgia Tech Community Garden!
• Eco-Warriors Meeting (3/5/20): The climate action committee meeting continued meeting to discuss future plans and possibilities for on-campus sustainability initiatives.
