The Tangible Solutions team works to implement concrete projects that will bring about real change at the University. While originally this group was meant to bring about infrastructural solutions at UBC, it is now a more plastic group meaning that it can support different projects each year and meet the changing needs of the University community.
Initiatives:
In the past, Tangible Solutions led the installation of the water bottle filling stations throughout the SUB through a student-driven SEEDS Project (check out http://sustain.ubc.ca/seeds). As well, it has looked into making UBC a bottled-water-free campus!
Additionally, Tangible Solutions may work on projects around food gardens, waste management, and composting. Or it may run an initiative that YOU suggest! If you have a great idea this is the group within which it could be implemented.
Through partnerships with the Campus Sustainability Office and the AMS the Tangible Solutions team will also be working on composting and water bottle projects this year!
