We are a student-led initiative dedicated to reducing and phasing out single-use plastic across Emory's 8 colleges through outreach, education, policy changes, and most importantly a “Break Free From Plastic” pledge signed by President Fenves in 2021, in which seeks to phase out unnecessary single-use plastic on campus by 2026.
With your kind and generous donations, we will become one step closer to making plastic free and low waste resources accessible to students across campus. The money will go towards resources for students so they can live a more zero-waste lifestyle, to community building events to spread awareness, and to messaging to support institutional change towards achieving our goal! Think: plastic free carnivals, hackathons, and workshops, all centered on student voices, environmental justice, and low waste! Our philosophy is that going zero-waste shouldn't be expensive, and that universities are centers for change. So, with this funding, we plan to make this a reality!
Every contribution, no matter how small, matters to us! We thank you for your generous support and allyship.
