Universal water bottles
None
A brief description of the campaign (1st campaign):
In an effort to reduce the use of bottled water, Student Affairs and Human Resources staff have led the charge to accommodate the use of tap water for drinking on campus. Each incoming class receives a reusable water bottle and student ambassadors promote their use along with information about the impact of bottled water on the environment and our state. Instructors in our first-year seminar have emphasized water generally and bottled water specifically in support of this campaign. New employees are also provided with water bottles as part of their orientation.
None
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign (1st campaign):
Over the past two years, every incoming student (totaling nearly 400) and all employees of the college have been provided a stainless steel, refillable water bottle. Public drinking fountains have been outfitted with "gooseneck" fillers and bottled water is no longer served at campus catered events.

This campaign is considered useful but there are no quantifiable results available.
