Bag-be-Gone!
Your interest and participation in on-campus sustainability projects and programs provided a launching point for this game-changing initiative. Plastic bag distribution is gone because you care!
Bag-be-Gone says, we can be successful without needlessly impacting our learning, working, and living environments.
At the Bookstore you’ll find that recyclable paper bags have replaced disposable plastics, so when it comes to discard the bag there are 200+ mixed recycling bins you can utilize at UFV, or, your curbside recycling, or the recycling bins in your apartment building. Easy.
SustainableUFV participant and student extraordinaire, Taylor Breckles, was instrumental in keeping this initiative going. Congratulations Taylor on your success!
