Health and Wellness
Sustainability goes hand in hand with health and wellness. Students can use GWorld to sign up for a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) to not only get a variety of healthy fruits and vegetables in their diet, but also to support local food systems. Walking or biking around DC instead of driving or taking a taxi not only builds fitness, it also reduces carbon emissions. Spending time outdoors in green spaces creates a connection to the natural environment that reduces stress and enhances social and mental wellbeing. Students can also get involved in the Raise Up GW initiative dedicated to helping students engage in a comprehensive well-being experience across campus. Through Raise Up GW, students are empowered to engage in well-being activites and gain a deeper understanding of resources for a holistic lifestyle.
