Incorporate Sustainability At Your Chapter Tailgates
Recycle
The Zero Waste Wolfpack program makes it easy. Collect cans, plastic bottles and glass bottles in a clear bag. Tie the bag, leave it on the ground and staff will pick it up after the game.
Share the ride
Carpool or take the Red Terror Bus Service to the tailgating lot.
Reduce Use of Foam and Plastic
If reusable plates, cups and cutlery aren't an option, opt for paper products over plastic and foam. Paper tends to have a smaller environmental impact.
