Georgia Tech needs more sustainable food options!

“Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food.” ~ Hippocrates

The food that we eat affects nearly every aspect of life on Earth. Our health, happiness, safety, economy, and environment all depend upon our daily eating habits. I believe that Georgia Institute of Technology should evaluate many of its common practices related to the procurement, preparation, sale, and disposal of food. When considering any aspect of on-campus dining, sustainability must be given a top priority. Georgia Tech should start by providing more local, organic, vegetarian, and vegan options and establishing a more responsible waste management system in its dining locations. In these and other ways, we will promote wellness, support local agriculture, protect our planet, and reaffirm our place as a leader in innovative, sustainable technology.

Students Organizing for Sustainability is a student organization at Georgia Institute of Technology devoted to running grassroots campaigns on a wide range of environmental, political, and social issues in order to promote the greater goal of building a more sustainable campus, community, and world. These issues may include, but will not be limited to: improving on-campus recycling; bringing more nutritious, local, and organic foods to our dining halls; converting the shuttles to run on renewable fuels; and working to bring new sources of clean, efficient energy to the institute. SOS will also look to form coalitions with other like-minded organizations to create an effective network of student activists. Members will develop leadership and organizational skills that will allow them continue advocating sustainable practices long after graduation. We plan to reach our goals by holding weekly meetings, fundraising, organizing service projects, building support for our campaigns within the Georgia Tech community, raising on-campus awareness about issues related to sustainability, and working with the Student Government Association and other institutional authorities.
