• Zero Waste Coordinator

  • Sep 2018 - Jun 2019

  As a Zero Waste Coordinator, I perform waste audits, which involves measuring how much trash was generated and how well the waste was sorted, in order to determine what can be done to reduce waste and encourage more people to sort their waste properly. I also reach out to other students to share the waste audit results with them, help organize engaging programs that focus on environmental sustainability and waste reduction, and inform students on how they can reduce waste.
