Promoting sustainable habits
ASU is phasing out single-use plastics
As microplastics are being discovered in uninhabited wilderness areas and even the human brain, Arizona State University is taking action to reduce its plastic footprint.
Reducing food waste
Americans send about 66.2 million tons of food waste to landfills annually. Once buried under garbage, food waste can’t get oxygen to break down properly. Instead, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas that’s 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Rotting food makes up 58% of all landfill methane.
Many Sun Devils have joined the Office Compost Program to reduce these negative environmental impacts. Now they have a new tool.
Building a campus that cares for the planet
ASU takes bold steps to create a greener future. Departments like Procurement, University Sustainability Practices and Zero Waste regularly collaborate to reduce waste, encourage reuse and promote the university’s sustainability goals.
