OUR STORY
All About WasteNott
WasteNott Project aims to spread awareness and knowledge on proper waste management to the UNM community and the public and cultivate zero-waste practices on campus.
The project also aims to empower youth for sustainable lifestyles through volunteerism and expand youth opportunities for green jobs.
There are various educational projects under WasteNott that focus on zero waste and a sustainable lifestyle to reduce our contribution to climate change.
BACKGROUND
WasteNott Project was founded in October 2020 under SEEN by a group of 8 students from different faculties, with the aim to raise awareness on zero waste lifestyle.
IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT
Buying less stuff, reducing our waste, and managing our waste properly help to reduce climate change!
Our waste contributes to climate change!
When organic waste decomposes at the landfill site, carbon dioxide and methane gas are generated. These are the greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming and climate change. Studies showed that 42 percent of the U.S. greenhouse gas emissions are associated with the energy used to produce, process, transport, and dispose of the food we eat and the goods we use.
OBJECTIVES
Raise awareness and promote 6Rs
