This year we plan on taking big steps to tackle the overuse of single-use plastics here on campus. Reducing the amount of plastic in our garbage means taking a deeper look at where they all come from and then taking action to eliminate them. During the course of this school year, and other school years to come, our goal is to implement a reusable cup system for use at Duke’s and Stag. We in the sustainability council hope you, as a Shawnigan student, will help us out along the way by doing your part to eliminate your own single-use plastic usage, by educating yourself on the imminent climate change issue, and by learning what steps, no matter how small, you can take to help.
