DLSU Hosts Successful Reusable Mug Library Event for Plastic-Free July

Manila, Philippines – De La Salle University celebrated Plastic-Free July with the “Sip Sustainably: Reusable Mug Library” last July 16, 2024, at the Yuchengco Grounds.

Promoting waste reduction and sustainable habits, the event attracted students, faculty, and staff, offering reusable mugs for coffee to reduce plastic waste.

Participants were encouraged to bring their own tumblers or borrow from the mug library. While the library was a hit, it also highlighted the need for more comprehensive sustainability education. Many participants expressed interest in making the library a permanent feature, and organizers are considering this option.

The university aims to create a campus culture where everyone brings their own reusable mug.
