减量和再利用
Reducing our consumption 和 finding creative ways to reuse materials is essential to achieving zero waste. Before you throw something out or buy something new, consider how you might reuse something you already have, 和 check out these helpful 集团s 和 resources:
Smithcycle
Beginning in 2019, we implemented our first comprehensive move-out collection program. Emmy Longnecker ‘20J inspired 和 led the project after seeing how many items students leave for the l和fill at the end of each year. Drawing on move-out collection programs that exist on many other college campuses, Emmy designed a program specifically for Smith. While a large collection happens at the end of the year, most houses have Smithcycle bins (f.k.a. Free bins) w在这里 you can leave 和 take items. 阅读更多关于Smithcycle的信息 在这里.
