Waste Reduction Week
Join us from October 7th to 11th for some fun activities with your peers!
Waste Reduction Week is an annual week of events hosted by the Sustainability Office for our community to focus on the way we use our resources and reflect on how to cut down on waste. This year we focus on household waste, plastics and packaging, and food. With events like the ReWear Thrift Market, Repair Cafe, and Climate Zine Workshop - the week lets students explore different ways to cut down on personal waste, on and off campus.
