This series comes to us courtesy of Kenyon ECO ( Environmental Campus Organization).
We know, you’ve heard it before: bring a reusable mug to Peirce to avoid wasting paper cups. But hell, it’s not gonna hurt ya to hear it again. So why is it important? Read on to find out! Peirce can compost the cups if they’re sent through dish return, but otherwise that’s a ton of unnecessary stuff about to end up in a landfill. Plus, for each cup we’re not only talking about trash, but also the resources that went into its production (trees, water, fossil fuel energy, and so on). Reusing your own travel mug eliminates all that waste, and saves Kenyon money as well.
Never remember your mug? Try keeping it in the same spot of your bag/backpack when not in use.
