UFM Community Learning Center

                                                        UFM Plans Green Awareness Campaign

During the Fall 2007 semester, UFM Community Learning Center began offering free environmentally-based educational classes focused on “Living Green.”  Classes included topics such as recycling, discussions about local versus organic foods, solar energy, appreciating native wildflowers, energy conservation and weather.  Similar classes are planned to continue in upcoming semesters. 

 In addition to the classes offered, UFM is promoting energy conservation by selling “Eco-Bags,” re-usable nylon shopping bags that can hold up to 20 pounds, and easily fit into your pocket, backpack or purse.  The bags are K-State purple with the words, “Make Your Community Greener.”  Bags also feature the UFM logo and website, www.tryufm.org.

 UFM Eco-Bags are available at a cost of $5.00.  Any proceeds will support UFM programming related to energy conservation and awareness activities.  Contact UFM at 539-8763 or ufm@k-state.edu for additional information or to place an order.
