A brief description of the program, including examples of peer-to-peer outreach activities (1st program):
Residential Life Directors and Managers provide educational programs focused on Sustainability at all of the residential halls and apartments. for example one such program was recently features on UCR Sustainability's Blog: "Of the many pre-existing sustainable programs within A-I, one RA from Aberdeen-Inverness decided to make a program revolving around recycling. This RA compiled a bag filled with household items and decided to quiz his residents with what was recyclable and what wasn’t. The bag included everyday items such as milk cartons, plastic milk jugs, Starbucks “hot” and “cold” cups, ice bags, aluminum, pizza boxes, bright colored paper, tin cans, staples, chip bags paper clips, etc. Surprisingly, many of the RA’s residents didn’t know what was recyclable and what wasn’t.
The program proved to be extremely educational, and transformed the way his residents disposed of their trash. The program became popular and within the following quarters, other RA’s began to ask to borrow the compiled bag of recyclables to host the program themselves. Years following, as the program began to align itself with Housing and Dinning’s green initiative, requests from RA’s of other Residence Halls such as Lothian, and Pentland would ask Aberdeen-Inverness to borrow the bag for their own programs."
