Repurpose your trash and make art! Submit a photo of your art via instagram DM to @uvmecoreps to get a chance to win a $20 Outdoor Gear Exchange gift card!

Ask your Eco Rep if you do not know!

Check out @uvmecoreps for recommendations. Buying second hand helps you find unique pieces that would other go to the landfills.

Every Thursday City Market offers 10% off bulk goods. There are many dried goods, flours, spices, teas, nut butters, and oils. Bring your own containers and get the tares before shopping or use theirs.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided when I have to print documents.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

Thursday April 22 at 8pm- Come watch the documentary 2040 with Eco-Reps at the Davis Center Ampitheater or tune in virtually. Reserve your ticket at tickets.uvm.edu or using the link below.

Using the Bite App and getting your food in EcoWare is a great way to stay safe and get food quickly. Make sure to return your EcoWare!

Returning your EcoWare helps Eco-Reps and UVM Dining keep the program moving. Reusable is always better than compostable and recyclable.

Email the Eco-Rep in your building (or a Manager if you live off campus) about a sustainability initiative you'd like to see happen! Or email them a note of thanks and recognition.

Use Green Mountain Transit's public buses to go somewhere next time you have to go a further distance!

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will spend 20 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.
