REQUIREMENT: AS should maintain a supply cabinet of basic office materials such as pens, tape, notebooks, highlighters, et cetera that have been selected with sustainable principles in mind. These supplies should be made available to groups to ease the burden of researching sustainable supplies.
This is one element of the A.S. Sustainability Policy that has not been implemented as written. Instead of creating a physical supply cabinet, A.S. staff and students have developed an easy to use list of sustainable items on UCSB’s purchasing system, Gateway. We believe this accomplishes the goal of ensuring that A.S. is using sustainable products without forcing individual students or groups to spend large amounts of time researching or comparing items.
