A brief description of the campaign (1st campaign):
This Challenge started in Fall 2010 to make students and staff aware of their waste stream. For one week, participants carry around any trash they generated that is not recyclable or compostable in a small plastic bag. The activity gives participants a chance to reflect on their waste-producing habits and see how they compare with national averages. Over 200 students and staff participate every year. It is run by the Sustainability Office.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign (1st campaign):
We weighed the total waste produced by participants and also saw an increase in the recycling rate during the challenge.
