    Waste Go Paperless

    Adjusting daily activities to be more environmentally sustainable may seem insignificant, but their impact adds up quickly over time! There are alternatives to disposable components, (coffee cups, plastic bottles, take away containers/cutlery, etc. etc.) and it is worth challenging the status quo. Let's make a difference!
