1st Campaign
Take Back the Tap
A brief description of the campaign, including how students and/or employees were engaged:
In an effort to reduce the use of bottled water, Student Activities and Sustainability 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 reusable water bottles as part of their orientation.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign:
Over the past four years, every incoming student and all employees of the college have been provided a refillable water bottle. Public drinking fountains have been outfitted with "gooseneck" fillers or replaced by water coolers hooked up to the water line. Bottled water is no longer served at campus catered events or sold on campus.
