Hey everyone, now that autumn has started, it is time again to host another leaf litter session. During the session, we will collect fallen leaves, which are needed to maintain the worm hotels 🍂.

To make it a truly autumnal afternoon, we will finish the day with cake and hot chocolate. We will start the collection at 15:30 on October 13th, meeting at the GO. The session will take about an hour ☕.
We hope to see many of you there for this fun autumn afternoon! 🥮🤎

Swipe to find your campus side quest ➡️🌱

Ready to actually do something about the climate crisis instead of just doomscrolling about it? We’re officially recruiting volunteers for our 2026–2027 projects, and there is literally a spot for everyone. 

Whether you want to style our thrift pop-ups, get behind the mic for our podcast, hack sustainability solutions, or just hang out with campus’s hardest-working worms 🪱, we’ve got a project with your name on it. Zero experience needed, just bring your ideas and your energy.

Moving out soon? 📦 Give your pre-loved items a second life and help out next year’s newcomers! 💚 VBU and Green Office VU are teaming up to host drop-off sessions for the Green Tower and Red Cubicles. Instead of tossing what you no longer need, donate it! ♻️ We’d love your useful everyday items, such as clothing hangers, kitchen items, small furnishings, and electronics. (Please note: For hygiene reasons, we unfortunately cannot accept any textile items. 🚫👕).

📅 Drop-off dates and times:
• Monday, July 20th | 14:00 - 16:00
• Tuesday, July 21st | 14:00 - 16:00
• Wednesday, July 22nd | 14:00 - 16:00

📍 Location:
Common room basement (right next to the Sportcentrum!), Uilenstede 102.

🏢 Can’t make it, no worries!
You can simply leave your items in the common areas of the Red Cubes and Green Tower. We will be coming by to collect them on the day your contract is due (either July 27th or August 3rd).

Let’s give these items a second life and make Uilenstede more sustainable together! 🌱 Share this with your flatmates or tag someone who is packing up below! 👇

It’s a wrap! 🎬 Our 2025-2026 term has officially come to an end. Swipe to see what kept us busy this year 👉.

We’ve had an incredible time growing our community through 5 off-campus volunteering activities, nature days at the Voedseltuin Uilenstede Community Garden, and our massive Sustainable Career Event featuring 19 companies and 160+ participants. We also learned so much from 9 expert lectures, connected during 11 engaging workshops and screenings, and gave everyday objects a second life with our “Move Out Clean Out” initiative.

Whether we were spotting the Greench keeping the campus green, tuning into “The Green Researcher Podcast”, or reading the new GO Student Cookbook and Science 4 Sustainability Journal, our team gave it their all.

The work is never truly finished, and we look forward to seeing how the next team takes the Green Office even further. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped us expand our impact! 💚
