Game day. Where Trojans take titles, and we collectively take time to reduce our waste generation and decrease greenhouse gas emissions to lower our environmental footprint. OK, maybe that's not your main focus, but that doesn't mean it isn't a part of game day.
Tips & Actions
Know game day zero waste procedures
The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum implemented a Zero Waste program at the stadium prior to the 2015 football season that strives to divert 90% or more of waste materials generated on game day from the landfill. You can help the Coliseum achieve this zero waste goal by placing your waste into the proper bin (Recycle or Compost). If you have any questions, just look for the signage around the stadium to help you make the right choice!
Walk to tailgates & games
Seems obvious, right? You'd be surprised... we've heard of students taking a rideshare to the Coliseum.
Think before you take
Small items like ketchup packets, extra containers for nacho cheese, or napkins may not seem like a big deal, but they quickly add up. The Coliseum sends about 4,000 pounds of waste to landfills every game. So, be conscious of what you take and throw away!
Make your tailgate sustainable by grilling up turkey burgers instead of hamburgers!
