October is Waste Reduction month! It is a great time to think about how we can reduce our carbon footprint and work toward achieving SDG #12: Responsible Consumption & Production. Repurposing also contributes to SDG #13: Climate Action by diverting waste and reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by landfills.

We generate an extensive amount of waste in and around our households. Rather than purchasing new or tossing unwanted materials into the garbage, consider repurposing items and giving them a second life! In the past few months, the Green Office ambassadors have shared their sustainability projects executed at home to inspire others that their trash can also transform into treasures.
