Planet Blue Student Leaders
Planet Blue Student Leaders (PBSLs) are peer-to-peer educators who strive to create a more sustainable campus culture by making it possible for students to put their values into action through hands-on, high-impact, peer-led climate resilience and adaptation programs.
Throughout the year, PBSLS participate in weekly cohort-based dialogues and workshops to develop leadership skills and design and implement sustainability projects across campus. You can learn more about what the PBSLs are working on by checking out their guest posts on the Planet Blue Ambassador blog and tuning in to The PBSL Podcast, a bi-weekly conversation about all things student sustainability. If you have any sustainability questions, big or small, you can reach out to the PBSL team at planetbluestudentleader@umich.edu
Make sure to follow them on instagram for sustainability learning and doing!
PBSL FreeStore
The PBSL FreeStore is an ongoing effort to reduce waste, promote reuse, and build a more resilient campus community. This monthly event is your chance to find new-to-you clothing, household goods, and other miscellaneous items while helping us build a more sustainable campus community. Best of all, everything is free!
The FreeStore occurs every first Wednesday of the month on UMICH-AA campus. Check here for times and locations. See you there!
The Sustainability Lending Library
The Sustainability Lending Library is a resource that provides access to common-use items for individual students and student groups to borrow for free. The Lending Library strives to reduce waste, purchasing, and consumption while operating as a campus resilience hub. The Lending Library promotes the social practice of sharing resources, which builds more resilient community and strengthens student relationships on campus.
