On November 9, 1999, at a reception attended by 60 people, the UB Green Office kicked-off the Think Green Campus Environmental Awareness Campaign. The campaign, which is on-going, consisted of the development and distribution of Think Green resource materials (see below), creation of a UB Green website, and commitments from various campus partnering groups to undertake environmental action and improvement in their own areas.
