Project Green Wall is a project where we implement vertical gardening with the aim to reduce carbon footprint and raise awareness on the environmental issues among our target communities. This project advocates four of the seventeen United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, which are [3] Good Health and Well-Being, [11] Sustainable Cities and Communities, [13] Climate Action and [15] Life on Land.

OUR TEAM
During its run, Project Greenwall only had one team at it's helm. The team was an all female team showcasing some of Enactus UNM's best talent. These resourceful women did the research and site-visits necessary to carefully choose the right plants for Project Greenwall. With their enthusiasm for nature and the environment, Project Greenwall was able to bloom in just one academic year
