Engineering a greener campus: Logan David’s journey as a sustainability steward

Logan David, a junior civil engineering major, has made sustainability a core part of his UNC Charlotte experience. Growing up in a small town, environmental stewardship was always important to David, and moving to an urban University has only magnified that sense of responsibility. 

For nearly three years, he has worked for the Office of Sustainability, first as an EcoRep and now as a Zero Waste Steward, while balancing his engineering coursework. David views sustainability as a form of civic responsibility and takes pride in knowing that he has contributed to a cleaner campus.

“I like to think of my job as community service,” David said. “Even if I don’t see the direct impacts, I know that over my life, I’ve probably stopped three tons of waste from going to a landfill.”
