Take Back the Tap (TBTT)

A brief description of the campaign(s):

TBTT aims to reduce the consumption of bottled water by UALR students. Each student will sign a pledge saying they will not purchase bottled water. Each week, students logged the number of times they refilled their reusable bottles. From this log, Eco-Interns calculated cost savings, ounces consumed, and plastic bottles kept out of landfills. ualr.edu/sustainability/index.php/home/student/
