EarthFair EDIT 3

Trash Talkers

Trash talkers is an interactive waste educational program that empowers the CSUN community on how to properly dispose of waste on campus. CSUN utilizes a three-bin system: landfill (black), recycling (blue), and compost (green). This can make it confusing for a student to know what items go in what bins, and it increases our contamination rate.

AS Thursday Thrift Event Image

Thursday Thrift

Thursday Thrift brings together various campus entities to create a one stop shop for all things thrifting to promote reuse and repair and say no to fast fashion. It serves as a mobile thrift store pop-up that makes sustainable clothing accessible for students, staff, and faculty. Shop sustainably, get your clothing repaired, swap clothing items with others, or just come by to browse around!
