WAT's Sustainable, Waterloo? Welcome to the official Sustainability's Office's official podcast: WAT's Sustainable?

On Episode 02 of the podcast, we answer the question: WAT is zero waste? We discuss the concept of zero waste living, the difference between zero and low waste living, the challenges contributing to our global waste problem, and what you can do as an individual to reduce your waste!

During the month of April, the Sustainability Office will be focusing on the importance of biodiversity for the wellbeing of the planet and humanity. This blog post covers all things biodiversity – what biodiversity means, its role in maintaining our health and wellbeing, why biodiversity loss is a major issue, what is being done on campus and in the community, and what YOU can do to promote biodiversity.

While majority of the University of Waterloo may be running virtually right now, the Sustainability Office is still here to help you incorporate sustainability into your daily life – from the comfort of your own home! For every month of 2021 we are focusing on a specific sustainability theme, demonstrating just how diverse sustainability can be.

Interested in plant-based cooking but cannot think of any recipes? Want to enjoy traditional meat dishes but concerned about the environmental impacts? In need of some healthy, tasty, comfort food?

Look no further! This Veggie Taco Bowl recipe is the answer to all your questions!
