The Reusable Regatta is a friendly competition that exists in order to help spread awareness about the importance of sustainability and waste reduction on campus. Participants have the opportunity to build and race a raft of their own using recyclable materials. This event, hosted in conjunction with Campus Sustainability Day 2012, is a wonderful chance to learn more about sustainability, make a difference in the NC State community, and have tons of fun!
This year, the event will also include games from various on campus organizations, a self-guided campus sustainability tour, and other activities.
