Chelsea ColleyUniversity of Kentucky seniors are gearing up an exciting time, May 2023 Commencement. UK Recycling offers easy ideas to celebrate sustainably.
- Senior photos:
- When taking photos, try confetti alternatives such as bubbles, flowers or even digitally added confetti.
- Recycle the champagne/sparkling grape juice bottle after using it for your photo (don’t forget to pick up the cork).
- An added bonus, caps and gowns purchased from the UK Bookstore are made of 100% post-consumer plastic bottles — which equals 36 plastic bottles.
- Commencement celebrations:
- Only make/order enough food for those planning to attend. This not only helps your wallet but helps reduce food waste.
- Use reusable dishware and utensils instead of single use.
- UK Recycling wants to remind staff, faculty and students that what is recyclable on campus is most likely different from what can be recycled at their homes. Check with your local government and recycling centers about what can be recycled at your home.
