A brief description of the campaign (1st campaign):
#MugLife campaign: In March 2016, the Green Team hosted a campaign to help spread awareness around the volume of disposable coffee cups to help encourage the use of reusable coffee mugs on campus. The graphs below show the uptake of reusable mugs on campus during the campaign. Please note that the campaign ran during “roll up the rim”, so the impact is significant. (attachment available upon request)
#Muglife also ran December 2016 and January 2017 and is an ongoing campaign on campus.
None
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign (1st campaign):
As a result of the campaign, Durham College saw a 2% increase in the use of lug-a-mug discounts. The impacts were measured over a 1 month timeframe. It is also important to note that the campaign ran during Tim Horton's Roll up the Rim campaign, so these impacts are significant to note, as our main coffee provider on campus is Tim Horton's.
