Greening Cream & Crimson Volunteer Opportunity (vs. Akron)
Building on the success of our pilot events on April 17th and April 27th, the Greening Cream and Crimson initiative will continue to green IU athletic events, utilizing our dedicated volunteers (you!), during IU men's regular-season football games. The Cream & Crimson Green Team will be the first in a long line of dedicated volunteer teams working to expand issues related to sustainability within Indiana University Athletics.
The Septemeber 25th football game at Memorial Stadium will mark our second opportunity to green a regular-season game. We greatly appreciate any assistance you're willing to offer!
Volunteers will receive:
A Free Greening Cream and Crimson t-shirt
Free entrance into the stadium
Free food at at the event itself
The honor of being a core component of the FIRST Green and Crimson Green Team
Game Day Initiatives:
- Recycling during tailgating pilot – Volunteers will circulate the tailgating area, instructing fans on the proper techniques – will distribute bags (clear for recycling, black for trash) and educate and encourage fans to recycle
- Recycling inside Memorial Stadium – Volunteers will co-locate garbage and recycling bins in the stadium, educate and encourage fans to recycle, and supervise recycling of aluminum, plastic, cardboard, etc. in the stadium
- Vendor waste reduction – Supervised recycling should assist in reducing contamination of cardboard, paperboard - greenware pilot - 100% compostable corn-based "plastics"
- Eco Cell phone collection – Volunteers will supervise collection of cell phones for recycling – recycled phones reduce the destruction to gorilla habitat and proceeds from our effort benefit campus sustainability
- Bike Valet –Volunteers will valet bicycles on the west concourse of the stadium and at the initiative tent – encouraging alternate methods of transportation to athletic events
Thank you! We look forward to having you on our team!
