SUSTAINABILITY TEAM PROJECTS
Projects
• Coulee project - outdoor learning center
• Hydration station installed in Schafer Hall - 4,000+ refills to date
Why do we buy bottled water when tap water costs next to nothing per gallon?
Bottled water costs $1.25/bottle for 20 ounces, therefore cost per gallon comes to $8.00 which is approximately 2.29 times as expensive as the cost of gasoline (assuming $3.50/gal.)
