Emerson has been invited to join Shift Your Summer, a campaign run by a local nonprofit called the Green Streets Initiative to encourage walking, biking, and using transit this summer. The Shift app automatically tracks your travel and enters you to win some fantastic prizes.
You can join individually or as part of the Emerson team, using the link in our bio and our team code 22EB74.
Do you want the Griff’s House tour? 🦁
Griff’s House is located right past the mailroom and where students can donate mini fridges, microwaves, mattress toppers, and other large items during Griff Gives Sustainable Move Out!
We have gotten so many amazing Halloween costumes donated. Check out Instagram in the fall for information on our costume swap!

April WTW results are in!
Although we had a decrease in the overall weight of waste we saw a significant increase of waste per person. This is helpful data so we can learn more ways to not only divert waste but also ways to thoughtfully reduce food waste!
Fun Fact: 1/3 of food produced in the United States goes to waste!
Here’s how you get your mini fridge ready for donation!
Make sure to defrost and clean your fridge very well, we want to make sure they are clean before going to their new home.
Next you can sign out a hand truck at the Griff Gives Little Building location (past the mailroom).
Finally, drop off your mini fridge at the Little Building location.
Little Building Location Hours:
April 24 - May 2nd: 9 AM - 8 PM
May 2nd: 12 - 8 PM
May 3rd - May 9th: 9 AM - 8 PM
May 10th: 9 AM - 12 PM

Sustainability isn’t just about recycling. It’s about the choices we make every day on campus!
Day in the life of an Emerson Sustainability Student Fellow! A student fellow is an on-campus job that allows for students to uplift sustainable practices on campus and contribute ideas and innovation to Emerson Sustainability.
“My favorite part of this job is how much I learn everyday. I have grown so much throughout this job and it truly feels like I am making an impact on campus everyday!” - Hazel (Communications Fellow)
