ESW is an organization devoted to sustainable development. We want to find ways to continue to advance technologically without adversely affecting the environment in which we live. We hope to produce UT engineers who are aware of the challenges facing the global community and the power of their chosen disciplines to address some of these challenges."
The ReEnergize Texas regional coalition unites a diversity of students and youth leaders in an alliance that supports and strengthens the student and youth climate movement in Texas. The members of Re-Energize Texas work together to leverage our collective power and create change for energy solutions that are safe, clean, efficient, renewable and just.
We envision a future and a planet that are both sustainable and equitable."
UT students urging fellow UT students to start LIVING GREEN! We want to emphasize the idea that small changes DO make a BIG difference... small changes DO add up... small changes empower those who might think they dont have a lot of power and influence. Students CAN be the carriers of change as long as they commit to doing just ONE eco-friendly thing a day. Just ONE change... ONE little thing... that's all it takes!"
We are the Green Horns, an eco-friendly tailgating crew in Austin. At every football game, we come out in full force to show all of Austin that going green doesn't require giving up everything fun and exciting. We have a passion for Austin, the University of Texas, and the community that shaped our values and drive to always do our best. With our emission free solar power generator, propane grill, reusable dishes, and full recycling of waste we are doing our part to keeping this community as perfect as it has ever been."

"The mission of the Environmental Science Institute is to bring together UT faculty and students in the life, Earth, physical and social sciences to form a focused, interdisciplinary program of environmental research. Interdisciplinary research efforts that cross traditional boundaries of academic departments are necessary to understand the complex interactions of the biosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere in the Earth system, as well as the human dimensions of these interactions. The Institute serves as a focal point on campus for a wide scope of interdisciplinary research and teaching. Through the Institute, state-of-the-art research and technology is brought to bear on scientific aspects of environmental change, with dissemination of approaches and findings through graduate and undergraduate teaching as well as public outreach."
Interesting findings. 100% FB penetration is interesting -- but note the relatively small numbers of fans of UT sustainability groups and the fact that few people know of any sustainability groups on campus?! That tells me these groups are not reaching out and doing the things required to drive number of fans. iPhone/iPod penetration does not surprise me. ATT tells me there are an equal number of BB on campus and the balance are devices that do not support apps/browsers/etc. Glad you asked about SMS -- I think this is an opp'y if you can come up with a clever, engaging approach.
