Zero Waste
This year, PSWC has made the goal to be a zero waste event. Zero waste means that nothing being produced at this conference will go to the landfill. That all materials used will be reusable, recyclable, compostable, or diverted from the landfill in some other way.
Current initiatives that PSWC 2018 has implemented include eliminating the use of single-use plastic water bottles. A reusable water bottle will be provided in your swag bag, and water refill stations will be accessible throughout the conference. Inspired by UCI, the event handbook will not be provided to reduce the use of paper. Large posters will be posted around the conference with the schedule of events, and an online version of the schedule will be provided. If you print the schedule, please recycle it at the end of the conference ♻
To achieve this goal of making PSWC zero waste all attendees must be enthusiastic about protecting our natural world. It starts with individuals being conscientious of the waste that they produce. We ask that everyone please be mindful of the potential waste that they may produce as an individual at PSWC 2018.
