Waste Reduction

This group’s purpose is to reduce the amount of waste produced and discarded by Stony Brook University. Stony Brook University can make a substantial effort to protect the environment in several ways. Through a variety of events and initiatives determined by the group’s members, students lead projects that can have a positive and influential impact on our community. The group has previously focused on developing ideas on how to reuse recycle paper, make Roth Regatta more sustainable, creating a plastic bottle recycling initiative, limiting throwaway tableware in favor of compostable materials, and organizing composting initiatives to promote composting on campus and gain student awareness of the importance of composting. From minimizing plastic use on campus, to composting, to motivating the student population, we can implement great changes and make a positive impact.
