For了让GG电子官方软件下载For零浪费而努力, we must take steps to dispose of our waste in a proper manner, so the Sustainability Office is partnering with Facilities to provide the tools to ensure the reduction of waste on campus. Even though tackling waste may look different outside of GG电子官方软件下载, we are taking these steps to shape GG电子官方软件下载’s culture surrounding waste so that you are able to carry these habits to encourage zero waste beyond GG电子官方软件下载.
堆肥,
Compost is at the greatest risk of being contaminated and thus not compostable. All compostable items are organic, Ask yourself, “Is it edible? 它能吃吗??如果任何一个答案是肯定的，就把它送到堆肥中.
Disposing of compost at GG电子官方软件下载 always goes into a bin with a green bag. Remember: pizza boxes as well as almost all cafe items in Sayles, Schulze, 威茨和食堂是可堆肥的——是的, 杯子, 餐具, 纸盒外带, 等等，都是7号塑料或纸做的! (可生物降解). Compost at GG电子官方软件下载 often doesn’t make it to the composting site because it is almost always contaminated.
回收,
回收往往很难分类. Similarly to compost, you must try to limit contamination. 学生 have to be diligent in the process of disposing of recyclable items. Note that clean and dry paper as well as firm plastics are recyclable and flimsy plastics are not, 所以扔掉你的泡沫塑料吧, 聚苯乙烯容器, 塑料薯片袋, 塑料袋和包装纸等都扔进垃圾桶. 也, 汽泡纸, 蜡纸和纸盒, terracycle物品是不可回收的, 应该被扔进垃圾桶. Usually cardboard is recyclable, but grease- and oil-soaked cardboard is not, they are compostable.

We do not want to contaminate the compost and recycle because much more labor goes into processing these waste disposal categories and also leads to the contaminated set not being used. 有疑问的时候，问问别人! If you’re still in doubt, throw it in the trash or search it up! Terracycle的物品被扔进了垃圾桶.

和博士一起散步. 戴夫 Schneider, discussing Antarctica, climate change & 如何培养可持续素养. 戴夫是一名研究员@ciresnews & @GG电子官方软件下载College @GG电子官方软件下载.地质学研究生. 戴夫 is especially proud GG电子官方软件下载 is divesting from fossil fuels. As a long time climate scientist he knows of the need to support more people into climate action. 戴夫 & illustrator Kira Davis created “Goodnight Fossil Fuels” after noticing there were not many children’s books in this space. 很高兴见到气候行动超级明星! 祝您旅途愉快 & meeting on the West Antarctic Ice sheet (WAIS) project up in Cloquet, MN! 感谢光临! #南极洲#气候教育#晚安化石燃料

Thank you to the Our Children’s Trust plaintiffs For this important win in 我的tana. The climate impacts associated with energy projects should not be left out of consideration. Whether or not this is appealed in higher courts it sets important legal precedent holding fossil fuel companies accountable.
