This reusable mug comes with me to every lecture, seminar, and meeting! It has seen a lot of early mornings on campus and late nights in the library. Carrying a reusable mug isn't hard, it requires a small commitment and makes a ton of difference in your waste production!

Are plastic road and lawn signs a necessary part of a municipal election campaign? Why @akmlynarz is trying a different approach, and how @CamGuthrie is re-using signs from last time around, as they run for mayor of Guelph: kitchener.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=1…

@cityofguelph @MikeSchreiner @akmlynarz Are they recycled in Guelph or shipped elsewhere? Let’s keep in mind CO2 emissions to recycle items. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. That’s the hierarchy that was designed. Glad to see a campaign reducing their plastic use first rather than flipping the hierarchy and relying on ♻️ !

@MikeSchreiner @akmlynarz Plastic film & laminated signs are not recyclable. You can, however, recycle coroplast signs in #Guelph by putting them in the blue cart. Bring large quantities to the Waste Resource Innovation Centre for #free

Hey @MikeSchreiner what's your take on coroplast election signs? I'm opting not to put any up in my bid for Mayor of @cityofguelph #Guelph

Shout out to the University of Guelph Bookstore for replacing single use plastic bags with a more sustainable paper option! A step in the right direction 🚯♻️ #banthebag #guelph… instagram.com/p/BnogsPkFjBa/…
