_ Waste Not _
........AN ITEM COLLECTION AND TAG SALE EVENT......
What is Waste Not?
Waste Not! is an EON-sponsored
effort run by the sustainability interns to reduce unnecessary
waste and encourage items to be recycled from year to year.
At
the end of the spring semester, EON collects your unwanted items. Then,
in the fall, we hold a HUGE tag sale to sell those items back to the
community, thereby keeping valuable items out of the landfill and in
circulation. Proceeds from the sale go to Amazing Grace (St. Vincent DePaul's food pantry), the CT River Watch Program's CT River Coastal Conservation District and Sustainability at Wesleyan.
