Groups
There are many ways to become active in UMaine’s green community. The major green groups are listed below:
The Green Team
UMaine’s Green Team is the only official student organization with the direct objective of creating efficiency and sustainability on the campus and in the community. We work to achieve these goals by creating activities, participating in activities, and working on increasing awareness about sustainability issues.
