What does the Communications Team do?
The Communications Team is in charge of outreach for the Office of Sustainability. These incredible students create designs and videos for our social media and online campaigns, as well as represent the Office of Sustainability during tabling and class presentations. They run our Instagram, Facebook, and Flickr. Please follow us to stay up to date on all things UT Sustainability!

Climate Dream Job: Seeing how much trash gets piled up at bubble tea shops and cafes after only a few minutes of use. Many of us, including me, don't think that going about our daily lives affects the environment, but our every little action affects so much. This was the moment that changed how I think about my daily actions and how it affects the world around me.
