1st Campaign
Green to Go
A brief description of the campaign, including how students and/or employees were engaged:
Green to Go is the reusable container program whereby the campus community may use reusable containers instead of disposable packaging at select Food Service Locations. Green to Go is available in the Robbins Health Learning Centre Market and City Centre Market, where 7 vendors total support the program. Patrons make a one time $5 deposit and receive a loyalty card that saves them $0.75 on each meal where Green to Go is used. Green to Go is promoted through physical banners and posters during the Fall and Winter orientation periods, in person engagement at outreach tables, social media contests through MacEwanEats and the Office of Sustainability's social media channels, and through newsletter stories shared on the internal staff newsletter and through the Office of Sustainability.

2nd Campaign
Suite Score
A brief description of the campaign, including how students and/or employees were engaged (2nd campaign):
During the Suite Score campaign, MacEwan residents received electronic communications that outlined what items may be donated to charitable organizations upon move-out (household items, clothing, electronics). Physical posters were distributed on each floor of the MacEwan Residence. Promotions through social media shared more information about Goodwill, the organization who received donations from move out. These promotions were meant to not only provide residents with logistical details for donating, but also helped to underscore why we chose a local organization. The final communications shared the results of Suite Score (weight of donations diverted from landfill), on digital screens around campus, through the internal staff newsletter, and through the Office of Sustainability's and Residence's social media channels.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign (2nd campaign):
Suite Score 2017: 1,002 kg donated
Suite Score 2018: 1,083 kg donated
