How You Can Help
BYOC
UBC aspires to be a Zero Waste campus where as many single-use coffee cups, plastic straws, bags and cutlery are kept out of landfills and the environment as possible. Enjoy your meal or drink in a Friendlier container at select locations, or bring your own reusable cup to save 25¢ off hot beverages on campus.
Sort It Out
As part of the Zero Waste Action Plan, unwanted items are treated as reusable resources. You can make a difference by using Sort it Out stations to sort food scraps and recyclables.
Choose Climate-Friendly Foods
Meat production and food transportation are major contributors to climate change. Consider plant-based meals, eat local when possible and keep food waste to a minimum.
Use the Climate Friendly Food Label for more informed food purchasing decisions.
