Does the institution have a program to reduce residence hall move-in waste?:
A brief description of the program:
In an effort to reduce UNH’s impact on landfills, the UNH Student Environmental Action Coalition (SEAC) will be initiating a new program called Trash 2 Treasure (T2T). We will be collecting all of the stuff that students throw away each year, storing it all over the summer, and then holding a large 3-day yard sale during move-in weekend to sell it all back to students. Our goal is to create a sustainable program where we will be able to run the program next year with the money we make at the yard sale this year, and so on, for years to come.
