Good afternoon,

Thank you for volunteering at the Fighting Illini, Fighting Waste event last Thursday! You were among ~100 other student volunteers who signed up and helped initiate recycling within State Farm Center. The community-level work you have done to raise awareness for sustainability is invaluable.

During this event, you helped divert 1,280 pounds of recyclable material away from the landfill! In total, 28% of the materials consumed at this event were diverted away from the landfill. We are incredibly impressed with this number. What a feat!

As a part of our improvement process for future events, we invite you to complete this anonymous Google Form survey.

Are you interested in joining other sustainability initiatives on campus?

• Browse through the Illinois Climate Action Plan (iCAP) Teams, and reach out to those you are interested in attending.
• Sign up for a tour of the university’s Waste Transfer Station and learn about what happens after trash and recycling are thrown in the bin.
• Sign the Use the Bin pledge and commit to always using the recycling bin. We’re working towards our 10,000-signature goal!
• Sign up for the Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment’s (iSEE) Illini Lights Out event coming up on Friday, March 24 from 5:30-7:00pm.
• Attend the 2023 iSEE Congress: Addressing Crises of Planetary Scale
• Join iSEE, Volunteer Illini Projects (VIP), Students for Environmental Concerns (SECS), and Facilities & Services on Thursday, April 18 for Earth Month Trash Pickup!

Thank you,

Daphne
