At UW-La Crosse there are a few efforts in effect to be environmentally friendly. Students at UW-L can reduce their waste while also reusing plastic bags into trendy items in a simple, fun, and innovative way. Environmentalism has become a popular topic and students are looking for a new and easy way to do their part.
It would be as simple as collecting plastic (grocery or store) bags in each residence hall on campus which would then be used to create something new and even profitable.
A popular trend is to have tote bags, purses and jewelry made out of these recycled bags. Students can make these items and keep them for themselves, sell them or even donate them. A great way to make these items or learn how to make them would be for students to form a club.
Donating through a club associated with UW-L would promote the university in a very positive way. As a UW-L club, it would easily advertise, recruit new members and have organized meetings on campus. It would be a great club here at UW-L because it is social, crafty, locally involved and most of all a great promoter of environmental awareness.
Forming this club at UW-L would be a great way for students with interests in both environmentalism and volunteering to get involved in the community and to reduce their waste. Beginning to collect plastic bags to reuse them for later uses would be a great start to reducing another portion of the university's waste.
