The Cool Campus Challenge is UCSF friendly 8-week challenge designed to educate and motivate the UCSF community to take simple energy-saving, waste reducing and sustainability-focused actions. UCSF will be hosting unique events to showcase our sustainability efforts made by staff, faculty, and students. 

“There are some great prizes this year including solar charging backpacks for the highest performing individuals, 20 FastPay gift cards for the highest performing teams, tickets to the Exploratorium or California Academy of Science museum, and the grand prize of one electric bike for the top individual,” said UCSF Sustainability Director Gail Lee.

The challenge starts on April 4, sign up here: www.coolcampuschallenge.org/UCSF2022.

You can choose to participate as individuals or as teams of 6 or less. Each week the challenge will highlight suggested actions that participants can take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase education and mindfulness about climate disruption. Actions earn you and UCSF points. You can also share your efforts on social media using #CoolCampusChallenge.
