What is SEED?
SEED is an environmentally-focused student group at the University of Washington. As we are funded by Housing and Food Services, our main focus is promoting sustainability in the campus residence halls and dining operations. We often work closely with HFS, from helping to expand the composting system to promoting an HFS-run program that allows students to swap incadescent lightbulbs for CFL's. At the same time, we also reach out to the broader campus community with actions such as distributing brochures on the environmental positions of presidential candidates. Our activities are diverse, but they all support the same simple goal: to create a more sustainable society.
