Each Fall, Green Week empowers the Trojan community to engage in sustainability-focused behaviors and activities.
Want to learn how to live more sustainably, or check out USC’s progress in achieving our sustainability goals? Green Week and Earth Month offer plenty of opportunities to make connections, attend events and learn more about advancing sustainability on our campuses.
Green Week is just one of the many initiatives that support Assignment: Earth, USC’s sustainability framework for creating a healthy, just and thriving campus and world.

Start your journey with these four sustainable steps:
1. Keep recyclable and compostable waste out of local landfills
Use three-stream waste diversion bins across the campus to sort your trash.
2. Carry a reusable water bottle and refill it at 200+ campus hydration stations.
Help USC continue to keep plastic beverage bottles – over five million and counting – from entering the waste stream.
3. Eat a plant-forward diet with the Choose to Reuse program
Get ready to make your dining choices even more eco-friendly! Coming soon, enjoy meals in reusable containers at select USC Campus Dining venues.
4. Use public transportation
Green your commute and save money by joining fellow Trojans in enrolling in the Student U-Pass Program or Employee Transit Subsidy.
