Project Description 

This gives undergraduates at UC Berkeley opportunities to have real experience in the field and to gain a deeper knowledge of the importance of zero waste on campus and in the real world. Each student will have a different concentration to focus their time on. One student will direct their attention to the reuse stations that are located throughout campus, and help the program become more developed. Another student will work on increasing the use of reusables and promoting zero-waste on campus by conducting surveys and helping educate through programs in Student Housing. They will also work on collaborations with sustainable businesses such as Planet Renu. The third will work on applying and sustaining reusables in Cal Dining and other cafes on campus. The last staff associate will focus on the education, outreach, and promotion of implementing reusables in restaurants in Berkeley.
