The We Mean Green Fund (WMGF) provides funding for students, staff, and faculty members
of the UNT community to make our campus even greener! The fund is made possible by
the student body via the Environmental Service Fee which students self-imposed during
a student government election in 2010. Each student contributes $5 to the Environmental
Service Fee during the spring and fall semesters to support community-driven campus environmental sustainability projects.
UNT students and employees are invited to propose their ideas for new campus environmental
improvement projects to the WMGF Committee to be considered for funding and a chance
to lead a project that positively contributes to a meaningful cause. The WMGF relies
on shared engagement, enthusiasm, and leadership from students and employees to integrate
sustainability into the culture of our university’s many activities and operations.
The WMGF Committee, a student-led, student-majority campus committee, recommends the allocation of funds
from the student Environmental Service Fee to support environmental sustainability
projects at UNT.
