Zero Waste Team Members
Our Zero Waste Team assists in educational programs concerning Aquinas’ waste streams. With everyone working together, we can reach this aggressive goal and be a zero waste campus! A "Sustainability Advocate" is the zero waste point person in a respective area on campus. This volunteer is the campus community's one-stop resource for recycling and composting questions, recommendations, ideas, and challenges related to zero waste.
