To conclude the semester, we formulated a Checklist to promote Sustainability and held a contest to see who could receive the most amount of check marks. The submissions we received were fantastic, nice work everybody!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Next Semester<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A key takeaway from the Audit is that there is an abundance of disposable cups being formulated on campus and a lot of confusion regarding how to properly dispose of these cups. It is a goal for us to educate the UFV community on how to properly dispose of these cups. Ultimately, we would like to work toward decreasing the amount of cups being disposed as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sustainable UFV Meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On January 16<sup>th<\/sup> we will be having another SustainableUFV meeting. We would love to have you join us to discuss goals for winter semester and volunteer opportunities for Sweater Week!
