A brief description of the plan of action to achieve waste reduction goals:
HSU continues to expand its waste reduction operations on campus, primarily through the University’s Plant Operations and the Waste Reduction & Resource Awareness Program (WRRAP). WRRAP hosts a zero-waste branch, which facilitates zero-waste events (e.g., student BBQ’s, staff parties, catered events). Departments on campus can now have their events “Green Event Certified” by earning points for employing waste prevention and zero waste measures for their events. The HSU Chapter of Take Back the Tap provides bottle-free water at football games and other events. The Reusable Office Supply & Exchange (ROSE) depot provides a place for faculty, staff and students to donate and take lightly used office and classroom supplies.
Below are examples of measures implemented or followed by the university:
•HSU maintains a warehouse for surplus furniture, office equipment and other materials for staff to access prior to purchasing new materials.
•In 2011 HSU phased out the sales of single-use plastic bottled water. Plastic-bottled water is no longer sold at the HSU bookstore or other food vending locations on campus.
•ITS is directed to wipe hard drives on computers (as opposed to destroying them) so that they can be re-used.
•HSU works to comply with California State regulations, such as AB 341, which mandates agencies to reach a waste diversion goal of 75% by 2020.
