WasteFEST 2013


The CEU Sustainable Campus Initiative and Department of Environmental Science and Policy are proud to present a series of events dedicated to how we interact with waste on campus. How are we generating waste on campus? How can we avoid waste? Where does CEU's waste go? What can be recycled at CEU and how? How does the choice of tap water vs. bottled water factor into this? All of these questions and more will be answered through interactive displays, and special events.

On Tuesday, March 19, be confronted in the Nador 9 Octogon area with a special display of waste generated right here at CEU. 

On Wednesday, March 20, during lunch time stop by the booths and exhibits set up in Nador 9 Octogon and Laptop Area. Trust us, you won't be able to miss them! And why would you want to, when there's things like free coffee, information on smarter shopping and waste free living in Budapest, and up-cycling activities from items collected at CEU? The full activity list is presented below. 

On Wednesday evening, join the SCI for delicious food prepared using organic, local ingredients and a screening of a critically-acclaimed documentary at the Szatyor Food Co-Op in Budapest.
7pm-9pm — Szatyor Association, Gyulai Pal Utca 12 (Between Astoria and Blaha Lujza Metro Stations)
