There is signage of the recycling services offered in the library. In the campus bookstore, there is signage indicating healthy and sustainable snack options. Throughout the campus, the Sustainable Campus Committee's logo is placed on anything that has been funded by the Green Fund. This sticker is a form of signage that highlights electric vehicles, solar charging tables, recycling bins, and more. Additionally, our campus' digital signage is used to promote all outreach events hosted by the Office of Sustainability in main campus centers such as the library, the Roaden University Center, and the residence halls.

The Office of Sustainability began its campaign, Make a Difference-Purple Pride Going Green, in partnership with Communications and Marketing after receiving a $35,000 grant from TDEC in 2017. This initiative is designed to ensure that the TN Tech campus and Putnam County residents are continuously informed about recycling related topics on a consistent basis. It includes posting signage around campus that provides information on campus recycling.

The map on the Office of Sustainability's website that provides the locations of solar charging stations, bike rental locations, hydration station, and more. The Office also created a Sustainability Scavenger Hunt that provides the community with clues for an adventurous tour of campus.

Information about going green in the residence halls is featured on the website of the Office of Sustainability under the "Residential Halls" tab. Specifically, we include information about the personal recycling bins placed in each room of the residence halls. Further, the website includes a calendar of events, which serves as another tool for informing students of the ways in which they can get involved in sustainability efforts on campus.
