OU student Chandler Shockey logs on to ou.edu/green to make her commitment to go green.  She is able to make a contribution without leaving her own home. 

Students Help OU "Go Green"

Students can not only improve recycling on campus but also help the nation go green by logging on to ou.edu/green and making a “commitment” to the environment.  

Until December 18, 2009 for every student who makes a commitment to the environment by checking a few boxes regarding ways to improve conservation, OU will match with a two-dollar contribution for a campus project.  OU is trying to expand its recycling program and better the environment by encouraging students to go green. 

“It only took me like sixty seconds to log on and make my contribution,” said junior Chandler Shockey.   “It was weird, I felt like I was helping and I didn’t even do anything, if everyone took the time to make a commitment OU would raise so much money”.

Students can log on to ou.edu/green and learn about ways to preserve Earth’s resources and keep OU beautiful by making a commit to go green.
