Throughout the month we will be sharing information and practices to help you cut down on plastic use. Start by signing up for the Plastic Free Challenge and receive tips for staying motivated throughout the month while learning about this global movement.

Follow @footprintslc on Instagram, where we will highlight information on plastic waste and plastic waste reduction all month. We will be covering topics like the impact of single-use plastics, the power of reuse, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and how to avoid plastics while supporting our local communities.

Here are some suggestions to reduce your plastic use on campus:

-Did you know that you can receive a discount on any hot beverage ordered from a campus cafeteria when you bring your wwn mug?
-Forgot your mug? No problem! Order your food and drinks on campus using our reuseable CANO containers. Download the free CANO app to get started and earn rewards.
-Bring your own cutlery, straws, and water bottles to work, school, or when travelling.
-Learn something new: Review our compost and recycling guide and make sure you are sorting your waste properly.
