Waste Reduction
Use a Mug and Save
Bring a mug to PCC coffee & soda stands and get more beverage at a 5 cent discount. Rock Creek's waste analysis in January 2006 found that disposable beverage cups took up 12% of dumpster space. You can help! If everyone brought a reusable mug to campus for one week, we would keep over 50,000 cups out of the trash. Reusable Mug Flier
Need a mug? Look for mug boards near your campus cafeteria! On these boards, you will find clean reuseable mugs hanging on hooks for your use. Grab a mug, use the mug and return it to be washed by food services.
