A brief description of other comprehensive sustainability outreach materials and publications not covered above:
The Office of Sustainability has developed various outreach materials to promote the campus zero-waste initiative "Waste Not." These include an informational video, a comprehensive website, signage, and a "how-to" brochure that each office occupant receives when they receive their deskside mini-landfill bin. Additionally, we collaborated with the Custodial Services staff to develop a business-card sized reminder notification that staff who clean offices overnight can leave on a workstation as a gentle and friendly reminder to employees in that space to properly dispose of their waste and recyclables and ensure the cleanliness of their unlined mini bins.
