A central concept of campus sustainability is thinking creatively about ways to reduce waste consumption. One such way the Wayne State community is reducing its single-use waste is through Hydration Stations and reusable water bottles. Americans use 2,500,000 plastic bottles every hour, most of which are immediately thrown away. Refillable water bottles are a great way to keep plastics out of landfills and to reduce a major source of single-use plastic. Wayne State installed Hydration Station Water Fountains across campus, and since the first installation has managed to divert over 2.5 million disposable water bottles. Below is a table of locations where these Hydration Station Water Fountains can be found around campus.
