You can also help with a campus clean up on Monday. In the lobby, come pick up a grocery bag and some gloves. If you are one of the first ten to fill up a grocery bag with garbage, you will receive a free, reusable water bottle.

PSA: the environment awareness team was informed by the school‘s administration today that if the amount of litter around the school does not improve, the school will go into powerhour restriction! Throw away your trash and recycle your recyclables. @TIGERNATION12

Thank you for reading and participating in the EAT Challenge, but remember that it does not stop here. Though these changes are small, combined with 7 billion people they could make a huge impact, so do your part and let’s make a difference!

If you want to start a garden but are worried about the weather, don’t be! Herbs can be grown inside during cold months and moved outdoors once the weather gets warmer. It saves a trip to the store, and it’s satisfying to grow your own plants.

November 29th E.A.T. Challenge: Plant an easy to grow herb. #eat #challenge #cfhs

[E.A.T.CFHS @eat_cf]

Not only do already grown herbs use unnecessary packaging and processing materials, the resources needed to transport these plants contribute to carbon waste: “it is estimated that an average distance of 1,500 miles is traveled before the food is consumed”.

It cuts down on waste from coffee cups, and some cafes even have loyalty programs to save you money.

November 28th E.A.T. Challenge: Need that cup of coffee first thing in the morning? Before you leave the house, think about bringing your own cup/thermos to a cafe. #eat #cfhs #maketheswitch

This statistic doesn’t even include the waste from plastic cups used for iced drinks. CFHS’s cafe, along with many other cafes like Starbucks, allows you to bring your own cup/thermos.
