University of Regina students believe that composting facilities should exist on our campus!
A composting program at the U of R would divert significant amount of waste from our landfill and decrease greenhouse gases emissions. Waste audits on campuses across Canada estimate that 20-29% of waste on campus is organic materials that could be compostable. Many university campuses across Canada have implemented composting programs successfully and we could do the same. A composting system would significantly reduce the environmental footprint of our campus.
I believe that a comprehensive composting system would enhance our facilities and create a more sustainable university environment. By signing this petition, I request that the University of Regina begin the planning and implementation of such a system immediately.

My bin at home is full every week. Why are we throwing all this good soil stuff into the trash to just sit in a landfill? Makes no sense.
would love to see more green initiatives on campus. good luck with this!
Finally someone said it. The amount of food waste in the cafeteria bins is actually insane.
YES. please get this going asap.
Its honestly embarrassing we dont have this already. Every other school does it why are we so behind?
