This semester Dr. Sallot's public relations campaigns class executed a campaign to educate students on environmental issues on campus, but they didn't make flyers. Instead, they created a series of fun and witty online PSAs promoting sustainable behaviors.
The four videos, created for the Go Green Alliance, show how students' individual actions affect the environment. These PSAs have been incredibly successful so far with each receiving more than 200 hits in just one week. PRSSA members can check out the PSAs (and share them with friends!) by visiting the links below:

The Go Green Alliance is dedicated to connecting environmentally focused campus groups and promoting green efforts on the University of Georgia campus. The organization was started in the fall of 2007 in conjunction with Dr. Lynne Sallot's public relations campaigns class and will be continued by some of campus' brightest environmental leaders.
