Waste Reduction Week: Three ways to help the environment
Oct. 4, 2016
It’s almost Waste Reduction Week! Here are three ways you can help the environment.
Sign up for Campus Cleanup
On Wednesday, Oct 12 from 10 a.m. to noon, everyone is welcome to help keep Georgian clean and green. Free lunch will be provided at noon. Register at GeorgianCollege.ca/campuscleanup. Meetup locations are:
- Barrie: outside the Last Class
- Muskoka (Bracebridge): the student lounge
- Orillia: flagpole
- Owen Sound: foyer
BONUS: Chartwells has kindly offered to give a FREE coffee to anyone who brings a reusable mug to a campus cafeteria on Wednesday, Oct. 12. Thanks Chartwells!
Bring your e-waste to campus
From Oct. 17 to 21, drop off your electronic waste and rest assured that it will be disposed of as safely and sustainably as possible. Make sure your e-waste is wiped of all personal information. All proceeds will support the Georgian Food Locker. Drop off locations are:
- Barrie location: Alumni Courtyard
- Orillia location: in front of Campus Connections
- Owen Sound: Location TBD
Help #GCKilltheCup
Georgian campuses use more than three million disposable coffee cups a year. The Barrie Campus alone uses 6,600 a day. To fight this waste, take a selfie with your reusable mugs and post it to Twitter, Instagram or Georgian’s Facebook page with the hashtag #GCKilltheCup for a chance to win some amazing prizes:
- Lunch for two at the Georgian Dining Room
- Lunch for two at the Kempenfelt Conference Centre
- A Verbatim Power Pack
- Reusable mugs from the TLC
- Coca Cola t-shirts and caps
- And more!
Thanks to all our generous prize sponsors: The Lass Class and The First Class, Kempenfelt Conference Centre, Georgian’s Health and Wellness clinics, the Georgian Dining Room, the Athletics department, the GCSA and Georgian Stores.
