Monthly Updates from PLAN!

Hey, friends!

This is a big month for us – several projects that have been in the works for a long time are finally rolling out! We’re really pumped to officially launch our Zero Waste Resource Center, after nearly a year of development and trials. (Check it out.) Additionally, we just developed a system of retail and GPO discounts from our rad sustainable business partners, and totally restructured our online workshop and training system for student leaders. While it’s still September, don’t forget to apply to our (remote!) internship position, and snag the discount to register for our Students for Zero Waste Conference. Phew! You got all that?

Check out our updates below, and follow us on twitter, Facebook and instagram for more frequent news!

The Resource Center is a platform where students and staff can discuss challenges, share resources, and collaborate on solutions to campus waste.

You have questions. You have answers. Add your voice to the movement.
