Associated Students (AS) - Environment and Sustainability

Mission
Our mission is to reduce waste at UCSB both through direct collection and through education and information sharing.

We, along with our partner organization The Department of Public Worms, are deeply committed to the day-to-day recycling, compost, and electronic waste collection services that have helped make UCSB a state and national leader in waste reduction for nearly 20 years. At the same time, we recognize that teaching students and staff how to recycle, compost, and reduce waste can have a huge impact both on and off campus, and is the only way to achieve lasting change. We value our campus and community, and are committed to a goal of zero waste at UCSB!

As both a competitive team and an inclusive community, we strive to create a culture of informed dialogue and philosophical inquiry.

Membership Benefits
For those on the competition team:
Competing in Bioethics Bowl allows team members to hone their skills in both thoughtful philosophical reflection and thinking on their feet. It also encourages the development of public speaking and presentation skills, specifically with regards to articulating complicated philosophical arguments in plain language. Bioethics Bowl competitions are not about dominating the other side, but about having a conversation–and competing enables team members to have those conversations all over the country. Within the past year, we have traveled to Atlanta, Santa Cruz and Boston!

For those attending weekly discussions:
Joining our competition team is not required for participating in Bioethics Bowl. We host weekly socials in conjunction with UCSB Ethics Bowl where people can come together casually to talk about ethical issues and share their insights.
