University of Chicago Green Campus Initiative


Recently, the chair of Green Campus Initiative, a student organization at the University of Chicago dedicated to promoting environmental awareness and sustainable practices on campus contacted us regarding their cause, which you can more about at their blog, http://gci-uchicago.blogspot.com/2010/03/gcis-least-unique-bid-auction-win.html

They held a Least Unique Bid Auction in mid-March where attendees paid a small fee to bid on different items. Since five ACCESSORIES is a fair trade, socially conscious company carrying eco-friendly products, we were a good fit for this event to show our support to the students. We were happy to donate a couple of bracelets to their auction.

The funds they raised will go towards running their annual Battle of the Bulbs competition, a month long inter-dormitory energy reduction competition.
