OU Making Changes to Go Green
Anyone with an OU account can make a commitment to Crimson and Green and the OU Physical Plant will donate $2 per person to campus recycling.

Crimson and Green is trying to promote campus sustainability and have a semester campaign to encourage students, faculty and staff to make a commitment to change wasteful behavior.
