This week, October 19th – 25th, is Waste Reduction Week!

In addition to the above activities Food Services did a mug give away. If you were one of the first 100 people at the common market today at 10:30am then you would have received a free reusable mug. It only took 3 and a half minutes to give away all 100 mugs. The mugs were given away to encourage people to bring in their own mug instead of using disposable cups.
What are you doing to help spread the Waste Reduction message?
