This project makes UC Davis students aware of the amount of single-use items they may commonly consume, and gives them an initiative to reduce this waste. By displaying and offering free and reusable swaps for single-use items, students are given an incentive to approach the project's booth. In exchange for the reusable item students are informed about the zero waste by 2020 campus wide goal, the problem with using single use items, and asked to pledge to incorporate that item in their lives both on and off campus.

In this manner, those who may not have put much thought into the subject may become more conscious about waste production and feel empowered to reduce both their personal waste and overall campus waste.
