Lakehead, Western, UNB highlight campus, student sustainability initiatives

Staff and students at Lakehead University, the University of New Brunswick, and Western University are implementing initiatives that bolster campus sustainability. Lakehead’s dining facilities have launched a reusable food container program where students can earn free food and drink rewards by using and returning a reusable container. Western has announced that it will no longer sell plastic-bottled water on campus and is encouraging students to refill a reusable water bottle at stations across the university. For Sustainability Month, UNB highlighted students who shared their sustainability strategies, which included eating more vegetarian meals; walking, biking, or taking the bus; carrying reusable utensils; and buying second-hand items.
