Reuse programs promote sharing and affordability

The Reuse Room highlights the intersections of community, affordability, and waste reduction. Anyone can donate items to or take items from the Reuse Room. The space is located in Cramer Hall room 180 and is managed by the Campus Sustainability Office Reuse Coordinator and a team of student volunteers.

There are many departments across campus working to meeting PSU's sustainability and climate action goals. The Campus Sustainability Office (CSO) helps to manage these efforts and facilitate connections between partners. If you have questions about these programs, reach out to sustainability@pdx.edu and we will help connect you with the appropriate department.

Racial equity and social justice are essential to sustainability. The Campus Sustainability Office and other partners recognize that not enough work has been done to dismantle systems of oppression in the sustainability movement at large and on campus. We welcome your input and feedback, and look forward to launching a new sustainability and climate action planning process centered on equity, possibly in 2021.
