ISE Sustainability Challenge- Win a pair of AirPods!
This is the last week of the ISE’s Waste Awareness Sustainability Challenge before the AirPod raffle on March 15th! This week’s challenge is to calculate your plastic waste. According to 2018 EPA data, Americans produce 4.9 pounds of plastic per person per day. How much do you produce? Use this link to calculate your plastic waste, then take a screenshot of your results to send to pelusimg@clarkson.edu with the subject “Plastic Waste”. Every person who sends their results will get another entry into the raffle! Additionally, the ISE is working on becoming a partner with OrganiCup,a company who provides reusable menstrual cups for students to reduce waste production and provide secure access to feminine products.
