The UM Zero Waste Club in collaboration with ZeroWaste.Org and the Student Sustainability Coalition is hosting a campus-wide zero waste challenge from Feb 16-20! The challenge is a chance to learn how to live a lifestyle that doesn’t create waste and supports the circular economy (repair, refill, reuse).

The challenge is fun and free and everyone who signs up will be entered into a drawing for prizes from local businesses such as a gift card to The Getup Vintage, a backpack from Bivouac, or a year of free cupcakes from Nothing Bundt Cakes. Sign up as a group with your friends, classmates or colleagues for even more entries! As part of the challenge, you'll get daily emails with tips that will teach you, step-by-step, how to produce less waste. There will also be panel discussions, events, and opportunities to get involved in systemic work to make our campus as zero waste as possible.
