What is SEED?

Earth-shaped cake SEED is an environmentally-focused student organization at the University of Washington. As we are funded by Housing and Food Services (HFS), our main focus is promoting sustainability in the campus residence halls and dining operations. We work closely with the administration in HFS, from helping to expand the composting system to promoting an HFS-run program that allows students to swap incadescent light bulbs forcompact fluorescent bulbs. This cooperation is one of the reasons SEED is known for being the group that "gets things done," making a tangible difference on campus. Though we focus on the residence halls, we also reach out to the broader campus community with activities such as staffing the compost and recycle bins at "Dawg Daze" events put on by First Year Programs. Our activities are diverse, but they all support the same simple goal: to create a more sustainable society.

Get Involved

There are several ways to get a taste of SEED:
  • Come to a meeting. We meet on Thursdays at 5:30 in Lander Hall L-136, just down the hall from 1101 Café.
  • Sign up to be on our mailing list.
  • Join our Facebook group.
  • Explore our website to learn more about what we do.
Without question, the most valuable of these steps is attending a meeting. We are very laid-back and always love to see people get involved, so we welcome new faces at any time of the year. Signing up for the mailing list or coming to a meeting absolutely does not commit you to anything, so there's nothing to lose. Come experience SEED for yourself!
