Zero Waste Event: Bring Your Cup/Utensils
Finally, please help us celebrate this Spring 2025 Convocation by continuing our efforts in holding a zero waste convocation. We are asking all employees who attend the morning festivities to please bring your own container for hot/cold beverages and consider bringing your own plate and cloth napkin to help us reduce our carbon footprint. Compostable plates and utensils and napkins will be available, but this is our chance to take the challenge to produce as little waste as possible, just by bringing materials from our offices and home to eat/drink from.
Be sure to talk to folks around you, remind your department members to bring their own cup, learn more about the three general waste streams we have on campus, and let's practice sustainability in action everyday! If you have any questions, please reach out to Sophie Wheeler, our incredible Sustainability Coordinator who will join us on stage for sustainability tips, tricks, and practices we can do daily to help our planet.
