Sustainability is growing with the launch of the University of Guam and DFS' “Guam in Bloom” sustainable art exhibit. A crowd gathered at the T Galleria, by DFS in Tumon to celebrate the unveiling of the exhibit created by UOG Center for Island Sustainability and Sea Grant's Guam Green Growth (G3) Circular Economy Makerspace and Innovation Hub team. The exhibit, a celebration of Guam's rich cultural heritage and commitment to environmental stewardship, featured a diverse array of artwork honoring the native and endemic plants of the island.
According to DFS Vice President of Operations Billy Cheung, sustainability is an important movement for the island that DFS takes seriously in their support. “We are extremely excited to be able to host the ‘Guam in Bloom’ exhibit here in our galleria. For us here at DFS T Galleria, sustainability is something that we hold closely in our hearts,” said Cheung.
“This is something that influences our decisions in a day-to-day manner in order to protect sustainability, our environment and also the local culture here on Guam.” UOG President Anita Borja Enriquez credited the UOG CIS/SG team for its dedication to conservation and preservation. She also underscored the university’s commitment to continuing the development of conservation workers for the island.
“I am so excited that we are able to continue to bring the talent that comes from the newer generation of conservation leaders and conservation warriors,” Enriquez sai.
