Making Sustainability an Aggie Tradition!

On Campus Aggies Going Green, was started in 2012 as a way to engage on-campus residents about their impact on the environment. In 2017, the name was changed to Aggies Going Green to encourage all Aggies, no matter where they reside, to raise awareness about sustainability.

Some things to think about as you purchase holiday gift wrap and greeting cards:
🎁 Metallic (foil) and laminated (shiny surface) gift wrap is not recyclable. Stick to plain wrapping paper. Better yet, avoid wrapping paper and consider other reusable options such as bags or furoshiki.
🎁 Anything with glitter is not recyclable. Choose unadorned greeting cards and gift bags.
🎁 Ribbons and bows are not recyclable. Consider other alternatives.
🎁 Tissue paper isn’t recyclable, but it can be reused.

Happy July! Did you know each year the Plastic Free Foundation hosts Plastic Free July? Since 2011, this campaign has encouraged people around the world to reduce their consumption of single-use plastics.

Whether it is a wooden comb, cardboard packaged soap, or even just a reusable bag, small changes in our daily habits make big differences over time.

What sustainable swaps will you be making this July?
