Connecticut College adopted a Bottled Water policy that prohibits the sale and provision of flat, unflavored bottled water. The policy also prohibits the provision of plastic straws in campus dining and coffee shops. The policy is uploaded below.
We had also eliminated plastic bags from campus prior to a state ban that went into effect in 2021.
