Name of the campaign:
Campus Race to Zero Waste

A brief description of the campaign:
Campus Race to Zero Waste is a competition/campaign that encourages better waste practices among college and university students. It is an 8 week campaign that encourages students to be aware of the waste stream on campus and how they can contribute to using less waste. During this campaign, our office provided programming to increase education centered around waste. This programming included making reusable bags from t-shirts, swap and mend, making valentine's cards from reusable items, waste games and guiding students through learning about their ecological foot print

A brief description of other sustainability-related outreach campaigns:
Messiah's Sustainable Living Certification is an educational way to learn more about sustainable living at Messiah. Students take a survey, learn about sustainable practices, and challenge themselves and their friends to live a little more environmentally and socially conscious lives. The survey is available on our website and students are encouraged to complete the survey and learn more about sustainable living. Students received a certificate for their participation. We also have a Sustainable employee survey that is distributed to the employees on campus. This survey measures their sustainable efforts and provides additional education, as requested, about certain areas of sustainability.
