SUMMARY:Ulster County Tiffin Project (SUNY NEW PALTZ)
DESCRIPTION:…. \nThursday\, November 14th\, 2024\n12:30 PM – 2:30 PM\nSUNY NEW PALTZ –  Coykendall Science Building\, Auditorium\n1 Hawk Dr\, New Paltz\, NY 12561\nThis special event is open to the general public – all are welcome! \nSingle-use packaging (like food take-out containers) are wasteful products that are used once\, for a very short period of time\, before being discarded in a landfill where they may take hundreds of years to “break down.” The environmental\, social\, and financial impacts of these wasteful single use products add up to make a big impact on our planet\, communities\, and local businesses. Luckily\, “low-waste living” and the “Bring Your Own” movement has inspired many people to make a difference by choosing to reuse when dining or shopping on-the-go. \nThis event is hosted by the SUNY New Paltz Department of Geography and Environmental Studies. Join the UCRRA Recycling Outreach Team\, New Paltz Climate Action Coalition & Climate Smart New Paltz for an engaging presentation and discussion about the benefits of reuse as a way to prevent pollution. At this special event\, participants will learn about the waste-climate connection and the lifecycle of some common single use food take-out containers. Come learn why choosing to reuse is not only better for our planet\, but may also be better for our health. \nAs a participant\, you will receive a FREE Tiffin (stainless steel\, reusable food containers)! Join us and together\, let’s unlock the full power and potential of reuse! Registration for this event is required. Class size may be limited. Please reserve your seat by completing the sign-up form and survey questions linked below. \nPlease note: While the entire event experience is up to 2 hours\, attendees can choose to stay for the Q&A or claim their tiffin at any point after the presentation has ended. Visit our tiffin distribution station to chat with event organizers and take the pledge to choose to reuse!\n\n\nAgenda:\n75 minutes presentation\n25 minutes Q&A\n20 minutes to take the pledge & claim your tiffin!\n\n…. \nSIGN UP NOW!…. \n\n\n\n…. \nAccessibility Statement: [SUNY New Paltz] strive[s] to host inclusive\, accessible events that enable all individuals\, including individuals with disabilities\, to engage fully. To be respectful of those with allergies and environmental sensitivities\, we ask that you please refrain from wearing strong fragrances. To request an accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility\, please contact Larry McGlinn\, mcglinnl@newpaltz.edu\, (845) 257-2696 two weeks prior to the event. \n…. \n Special thanks to \nFunding is provided by the Environmental Protection Fund as administered by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

At this special event\, participants will learn about the waste-climate connection and the lifecycle of some common single use food take-out containers. Come learn why choosing to reuse is not only better for our planet but may also be better for our health. \nAs a participant\, you will receive a FREE Tiffin (stainless steel\, reusable food containers)!
