(To change that for the next quarter, make sure to pay attention to the opportunities coming in Earth Week!)  However, two people tied for the number of Green U&#8217;s in the Education and Promotion category &#8212; and as both were deserving, both received the award.<\/p>\n<p>Todd Wyatt walked to work for more than two weeks straight (in the cold) and saved gas and money, reduced his carbon footprint and got some free exercise.  To top it off, he&#8217;s inspired others to do the same!<\/p>\n<p>Amanda Angle helps her lab to recycle just about everything, and she makes it easy for them as containers are set up in logical places and labeled. She also helps everyone on her team to get items recycled in the lunch\/break area. One co-worker noted, &#8220;She encourages us to recycle but does it in a positive way that motivates us.&#8221; Way to go, Amanda!<\/p>\n<p>Karalyn Schmidt was lauded for being a &#8220;green champion&#8221; and being &#8220;instrumental by assisting others in participation.&#8221; She obtains resources and accesses information when new initiatives come out and then promotes them within the department so that others can take part. From basic recycling to batteries, Karalyn is reducing waste and helping others to do the same!<\/p>\n<p>Tom Waples received the Green U for using his graphic design skills to help the LiveGreen Committee prepare for a new endeavor. His enthusiasm really helped the group and the end product is great. Stay tuned to see Tom&#8217;s work!<\/p>\n<p>Do you know of an employee who engages in environmentally friendly activities?  Is so, send them a Green &#8216;U&#8217; and you may read about them in an upcoming story! <\/p>\n<p>To recognize a &#8216;green&#8217; coworker: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Log in to <a href=\"https:\/\/net.unmc.edu\/eserv\/\">eServ<\/a>\n<li>Select the &#8220;Campus Resources&#8221;
