A makeover template in gold and black of "BEFORE" and "AFTER" pics. The before is a single-use plastic bottle; the after is an aluminum bottle. Above is the word “TRANSFORMATION.” Below is: “Did you notice? CU Boulder is eliminating single-use plastic beverage bottles from all our vending machines this summer!” A makeover template in gold and black glitter of “BEFORE” and “AFTER” pics. The before is a vending machine with single-use plastic bottles; the after is a vending machine with aluminum bottles. Below are two text boxes: one reads: “Less microplastics in your body & the planet. Less waste that is harder to recycle. Without giving up convenience or the dream of climate justice’; the other reads: “& don’t forget our water fountains for reusable bottles!” The second text box has a picture of a water fountain and a gold reusable water bottle. Shows for icons: a sun wearing shades, a bison wearing shades with a mic in hand, a CU Boulder logo, and a wave. In between, it states: “SUMMER 2025 CAMPUS GLOW UP RECIPE a winning multi-step sustainability process: Students spoke up, advocating for less plastic pollution to protect marine life, their health & human rights; Faculty conducted research on harms and new trends for the future; Staff identified a practical plan for operations to actualize campus sustainability goals; And they joined together on the Chancellor’s Sustainability Council until . . . New campus leadership boldly announced system-wide change for a more sustainable future!” Dark grey slide with gold sparkles. “Can CU Boulder do more for a sustainable future? YES!!! (& every win is important to celebrate).” “Feeling left out? Or maybe burnt out? Follow or join changemakers on campus: 1) The Sustainability And Storytelling Lab (affectionately called the “sass lab”) offers expertise, internships and credits: https://www.colorado.edu/lab/sas/ (2) Campus leaders are upping our sustainability game: https://www.colorado.edu/sustainability (3) And our Environmental Center continues to offer resources & student supporthttps://www.colorado.edu/ecenter/ “ The bottom of the slide has icons of a bike, a recycling bin, and a bag of groceries.
