The Office of Sustainability Takes on the Holiday Market

Home Celebrating Stories The Office of Sustainability Takes on the Holiday Market

The Office of Sustainability (OS) returned to Tawes Plaza for the annual Holiday Market that takes place during the beginning of December. 

The Holiday Market serves as a time for different vendors to return to campus to provide a space for those who are in need of purchasing gifts for the holiday season. A variety of vendors returned with goodies such as pickles, popcorn, jewelry, body products, and more. 

The OS participated by hosting a terracotta pot-painting event. Students, staff, and faculty stopped by to decorate a pot with a design of their choice. In addition, options for sustainable gift wrapping were displayed on the table that ranged from recycled paper bags, kraft paper, scarves, and newspaper. 

Don’t know what to get someone for the holiday season? Check out the Office of Sustainability’s Guide to Sustainable Giving to learn new ways to gift sustainably.
