During the Committee Fair, all Committees sought event ideas for the year from students, most of which have already been implemented in the first semester:
Committee Fair 1

Committee Fair 2

RAs sign up to join the Sustainability Committee.

On-site training which covers sustainability objectives, recycling instructions, the role of the RA Sustainability Committee, and ways to engage with their residents during the year.

Setup the site to include relevant literature.

Leave a letter addressed to each resident which includes a site map with details on bin and recycling areas: Example letter and map

Attend the welcome talk and discuss with all new residents where, how, and when to recycle.

Meet with their residents right after the welcome talk to give them a tour of their kitchen and cover a list of key topics with them. The residents’ signature is required at that stage to confirm commitment for the rest of the year.

A few days later, RAs organise a welcome event with their residents during which they will actively engage with them and establish good recycling and cleaning habits.
