Greening Mount Allison


Mount Allison students and community members can now sport their school pride while being environmentally friendly with the University's new line of travel mugs and reusable shopping bags.

In an effort to be environmentally conscious, the university wants to get rid of paper cups and bags, so all students this year were issued with a reusable travel mug and shopping bag.

The bags and cups are also available for purchase at the university bookstore.

Michelle Strain, Mount Allison's director of administrative services, said the mugs were purchased with the energy savings from the C3 Challenges held in residences for the last two years, and in academic buildings for the first time this year.

The hope is that Mount Allison will eventually become a paper-cup and bag-free campus, further reducing its environmental impact.

The Greening Mount Allison mugs are available for purchase at the Mount Allison bookstore for $4.10, while the Green and Garnet reusable bags are $1 each.
