A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign(s):
Before the campaign, water bottles were sold at multiple locations on campus. After the campaign, bottled water sales dropped. Since bottled water sales decreased after the outreach campaign, the institution can demonstrate that the campaign led to a measurable, positive impact on its sustainability performance. In addition and because of the success of the program and student interest, the institution also committed to purchasing 5 water-bottle friendly drinking fountains that were installed in several locations across campus.
