A Plastic-Free Campus: 2025

Join the Waterloo Association of Geography Students (WAGS) in banning the sale of plastic on campus by the year 2025. Our first initiative is promoting the use of reusable straws and/or encouraging students, staff and faculty to refuse the plastic straw. We want to make University of Waterloo a leader in sustainability by eliminating the sale of wasteful plastics (water bottles, plastic bags, straws, unnecessary packaging, etc.) on our campus. The lemonade stand will run from 11:00am to 2:00pm in front of Dana Porter Library.

We are proud to have Dr. Steven R. Fassnacht, a professor of Snow Hydrology from Colorado State University, visit the University of Waterloo to present his research. Please join us in EV1-221 at 1:30 pm on Tuesday, February 5^th, 2019 for his talk titled “Integration of Multi-disciplinary Data Sources to Understand Hydro-Climatic Change”.
