Abstract
ID: 21
This project began as a personal audit of the waste I created in daily student life and evolved into a campus-wide exploration of plastic pollution at Western Oregon University. By examining both student behavior and campus infrastructure, like recycling bin placement and labeling, it identifies the key reasons why recyclable plastics often end up in trash cans. Through observations, reflection, and a pattern of repeated missteps, the project reveals how habits, design, and awareness all shape the campus waste stream. It concludes with simple, actionable steps WOU can take to reduce plastic waste and support a stronger culture of sustainability.
