I'm ecstatic to announce the start of my UCSB Environmental Leadership Incubator Project, the nation's first university-wide shoe recycling program! I'd like to thank Got Sneakers for sponsoring the project in addition to the UCSB Zero Waste Committee and UCSB AS Recycling for aiding in getting the project ready for long-term implementation. This wouldn't have been possible without the help of my professors, Erika Zollett and Simone Pulver, program mentor, Sarah Siedschlag, Peter Palmer, and everyone at GotSneakers. Lastly, I'd like to thank Keith Hamm at the UCSB Current for covering the project which you can read about using the link below. I'm looking forward to continuing the implementation and expansion of this project to other UCs as well as universities nationwide! https://lnkd.in/gexjiUyz
