Healthy Living
In addition to sound environmental and economic stewardship, the third interdependent element of sustainability is human wellbeing. The university is a living community, and the health and wellbeing of all its members is a fundamental component of the community’s prosperity. All of us must do our part to ensure that our departments are safe and healthy.
- Be sure that you and your co-workers are working safely. Use the workplace safety resources provided by UF Environmental Health & Safety, such as the information on ergonomics, and other workplace safety information from Environmental Health & Safety.
- Participate in the wide variety of athletic and recreational activities, as well as other healthy living resources, such as Healthy Gators 2010, offered at UF. Encourage your co-workers to do so as well, and use these activities as a way to build community.
- Make sure that dietary preferences of participants are available at departmental events.
- Take advantage of the healthy food choices that are available on campus.
