A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
The "To Green and Beyond Toolkit" was created by the 2013-2014 Office of Sustainability interns. The toolkit was derived out of the Sustainability Strategic Thinking (SST) Process, which is a process to define sustainability for UIC and how it connects with the strategic goals of the campus. The toolkit provides an inclusive set of tools of how to get involved with sustainability at UIC. It includes the "What Color is Your Sustainability? Quiz", the Sustainability Scavenger Hunt, Sustainability Building Campaign, and an interactive Sustainability map. The toolkit provides a fun and engaging way for the UIC community to become involved in sustainability concepts and practices.
