We are back in the Fall 2010 semester! Find us at the Resource Fair in the University Centre, we will have a table where you can learn more about GSEC and how you can join! The resource fair will be taking place at the beginning of fall semester.
Here are GSEC’s Current activities:
TAP-IN
As members of various groups on campus, such as GSEC (Guelph Students for Environmental Change), OXFAM, and others, we hope to reduce the amount of bottled water consumed at the University of Guelph. Ultimately, we would like the University Administration to encourage alternatives to the use of bottled water. read more about Tap-In’s work

Renewable Energy Group
REG works to promote energy efficiency on campus with a long-term goal of getting the campus powered by renewable energy. At the moment, REG’s main campaign is for a $10.4 million campus-wide energy retrofit – a huge project, but one that would pay for itself from energy savings alone.
