Waste Reduction Goal Town Hall (November 14, 2024 4:00pm)

Event Begins: Thursday, November 14, 2024 4:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Planet Blue


With the existing waste reduction goal sunsetting in 2025, the Office of Campus Sustainability has been leading a workstream to review and recommend expanded waste reduction goals. These targets will more accurately reflect our waste reduction strategy, which supports a circular economy in conjunction with zero waste efforts, while considering the embodied equity, environmental justice, and carbon neutrality impacts of materials management. Come join a town hall to learn about the proposed new goals and discuss metrics, implementation strategies.

We will also be hosting a clothing swap so please bring your gently-used clothing to rehome and a bag for carrying away some new, pre-loved favorites!

Stop by for the whole event, just a few minutes, or anything in between!
