A brief description of the sustainability newsletter or social media platform:
Two newsletters are published regularly.
1) Sustainability Champions is the staff and faculty newsletter sent out once/month which highlights sustainable living tips, upcoming events, noteworthy actions and relevant programs across the three campuses.
2) The Green Team Insider is sent out once every two weeks to students. It highlights the same items as the Sustainability Champions but features volunteer opportunities and focuses on student activities.
Sustaining Pacific also hosts a Facebook page and an Instagram page. Both are used to market events and programs, post tips and encourage students to incorporate sustainable living into their daily routines.

Green living guide
Yes
A brief description of the guide for green living and/or incorporating sustainability into the residential experience:
The Sustaining Pacific website has a Sustainable Living Guide with tips to help students incorporate more environmentally friendly practices into their lives. https://www.archive.pacific.edu/about-pacific/sustainability/take-action/sustainable-living.html
Sustaining Pacific and Residential Life & Housing work together to publish monthly sustainability tips and challenges in newsletters and on social media. The challenges are meant to increase involvement in sustainability programs and sustainability practices. For example, one month the tip was about eating less meat and the challenge was to use the Kitchen Co-op and cook a meal. Those who complete the challenge and post proof on Instagram are entered to win sustainable swag.
Sustaining Pacific also presents regularly to residential life staff to teach them about programs and receive feedback on how to best support sustainability programming. Trainings are at least once per year and sometimes more.
