“Teach us to give and not to count the cost”
- Saint Ignatius of Loyola
BC Shares is a program organized by the Boston College Office of Sustainability to promote sustainability and exemplify this message from Saint Ignatius of Loyola. BC Shares encourages students to reduce waste and extend the lifespan of their goods, by giving them to others when they are no longer needed (instead of introducing them to the waste stream).
Together, we strive to build a stronger, more giving, Boston College community with less waste.
