Greener Housing Coalition

Club Description

The Greener Housing Coalition is an organization started by UVA students in 2020, as an effort aimed at making off-grounds student housing more sustainable. While the university has a stated goal to become carbon neutral by 2030 and fossil fuel free by 2050, off-grounds studenthousing is not under the purview of the university. Yet, 70% of UVA students live off-grounds, in residences with significant greenhouse gas profiles. The student-led Greener Housing Coalition seeks to mirror the university’s progress towards reducing the climate impact of its operations, by focusing upon the emissions of student residences in the Charlottesville community.
