CSU's Green Warrior challenge begins Monday, Sept. 22 and runs through Sunday, Nov. 16. During this eight week-long sustainable behavior change campaign, students are encouraged to adopt more sustainable practices. This year is the fourth year of Green Warrior. To date, more than 4,000 students  have become Green Warriors to help change our planet's future. When students sign up to become a Green Warrior they can choose to pledge from a multitude of sustainable habits, such as:

• taking shorter showers
• turning the lights off when leaving residence hall rooms
• using reusable bags when grocery shopping
• using alternative transportation

Students earn prizes based on a point-based system tallied by how many sustainable behavior choices pledged. Prizes this year include CFL light bulbs, Green Warrior stickers, remote controlled power strips, Green Warrior T-shirts, and one lucky person will be picked out of a drawing to win a bike of their choosing from Recycled Cycles. Participate in this year’s Green Warrior campaign and help foster a sustainable culture at CSU.

This semester, you can make your RamCard work even harder by turning it into a free public library card.

Through a collaboration between CSU Libraries and Poudre River Public Library District, Colorado State University students, faculty and staff can now add all the perks of a PRPLD library card to their existing RamCard. This gives the campus community access to free ebook, movie and music downloads and so much more.

Once activated through RamWeb, your super-charged RamCard can be used to take advantage of the public library’s notable collection of resources, including popular fiction and nonfiction ebooks, electronic magazines, videos and audio books.

“The PRPLD popular and recreational library resources complement the CSU Libraries' extensive research resources, including more than 150,000 academic ebooks, databases and scholarly journals,” said Pat Burns, vice president for IT and dean of Libraries. “We are happy to be able to provide access to titles frequently requested by the campus community while maintaining our focus on academic publications.”

This program is open to everyone with a RamCard, even if you already have a PRPLD card.

For more information about giving your RamCard a new superpower and instructions on how to opt-in to the public library card program, go to the CSU Libraries website.
