For eight weeks from January to March, Emerson and other colleges will be submitting waste data including weekly recycling, compost, and trash weights. We love participating in CR2ZW because it not only encourages zero waste habits, but also allows us to identify where we can improve on waste! To raise awareness about waste reduction and diversion on our own campus, Sustainability staff host several events and challenges for the Emerson community throughout the competition.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are just some of the upcoming events \u2014 the full list is on our blog <a href=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/sustainable-emerson\/campus-race-to-zero-waste-crzw\/\">here<\/a>:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lunch Film Screening&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Office Recycling Competition&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weigh the Waste&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teach-In on Sustainab<strong>i<\/strong>lity\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spring Break Photo Challenge&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean Out Your Office Day&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upcycled Art Competition&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bright Lights Cinema Series: King Coal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, these internal programs are all part of our <strong>Scouts 4 Sustainability<\/strong> program!

Points will be awarded through the Scavos app. At the end of March, the participants with the most points overall will receive exciting prizes!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an overview of how to become a Scout 4 Sustainability on Scavos:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:18px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"1\" style=\"font-size:24px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;line-height:1.2\">1.
