Why are we here?

Marlins Go Green was founded with the intent of spreading environmental awareness and advocacy around the campus of Virginia Wesleyan University. Our team is passionate about local sustainability efforts and aims to educate the community about their roles in environmental stewardship. Through open community events, fundraisers, sustainability-oriented projects, and partnerships with companies such as the Elizabeth River Project, Norfolk Botanical Gardens, 4Ocean, and more; Marlins Go Green is actively working to discover and share solutions to combat environmental degradation in the Hampton Roads area.

Despite operating as a University club, Marlins Go Green aims to become a prominent voice of change in the local community. Our current focuses are on waste reduction and recycling on the Virginia Wesleyan University campus, and will expand out to the Oceanfront of Virginia Beach. Over the next few months, we are aiming to launch our first online store, which will feature locally produced, sustainable and holistic products, of which the proceeds will go to funding our future research, education, and outreach events.
