The UVA Board of Visitors voted to set a goal for a 25% reduction to UVA’s N footprint by 2025, relative to 2010.  To help meet this goal, I started the N Working Group in 2014 in conjunction with the Office for Sustainability.  Over the past decade, 50 student-interns have worked diligently and creatively within the NWG!
