| Mission Statement | We are a group of dedicated students who plan on encouraging and inspiring UCSC to reach the UC Office of the President’s appointed goal to of zero waste by 2020. Through campus wide projects and outreach involving students, staff, and faculty alike, we seek to kindle awareness of waste reducing efforts across campus. While fostering this relatively new education of UCSC’s waste stream, we can succeed in reaching our Zero Waste by 2020 Goal. |
| Volunteer Duties | Trash Talkers- During Zero Waste Events, volunteers will be standing by the waste bins and helping guests sort their waste out correctly. The peer-to-peer education is important to prevent contamination of the bins but also provide a teaching moment about waste. Volunteers will be trained by the Zero Waste Team. |
