Moving out can be crazy and stressful but we think it is the best time to make a difference for the community (and earth)! Luther's move out week has historically generated the most waste of any week during the year but that is changing. In 2016 Luther students filled 8 trucks with donations for local thrift stores and donated 1300 pounds of food to the local food pantry. Despite these efforts, 27 tons of waste were still sent to the landfill during move out week.
Our goals for 2017 are to r
educe the tons of waste sent to the landfill by 20%
from last year by
donating 2,000 pounds of food to the food pantry
and
filling 12 trucks with items for the local thrift stores
. Use this simple guide to make a difference during Move Out Week!
