Sustainable Shopping for College Life
Rice University and Brown College are always striving to be more sustainable. Past Eco-Reps put together a guide for NS to shopping sustainably for college. In addition to these resources, the Rice Student Selling Stuff GroupMe (ask your Advisors to add you when you arrive!) is an affordable and sustainable way to buy things you may need from other Rice students. Check it out by clicking one of the links below and find some great advice when putting together your room supplies!
