Immigration Rights and Resources for the Campus Community

Replacement of Rubber Crumb Turf

The above photo demonstrates the migration of the rubber crumb turf off of the field and into the drains and sidelines. This project proposed transitioning from harmful rubber crumb turf on campus fields to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative turf. Implementing this proposed idea will help to limit campus community members' exposure to the harmful chemicals and microplastics that are found in rubber turf. Additionally, it will help to mitigate the turf from entering our campus’ local creeks and drains.

CCAT Reclamation Station Revamp

The objective of this project was to update and organize the existing CCAT Reclamation Station, a place where students can get free resources (ike upcycled wood), to make it easily accessible, safe, and welcoming for student use. This project will create a space that will increase the availability of reclaimed building materials to the campus and Arcata community. Goals of this project are to increase the feasibility of using reclaimed materials, as well as to increase the ease of use for both donations and users.

Generation Conscious Laundry Detergent Sheets

This project proposed the implementation of Generation Conscious laundry detergent sheets around campus. The sheets, given to OHSNAP! were intended to be conveniently accessed by students.

Recycled Plastic for 3D Printers

This project involves funding for a shredder, filament extruder, and 3D printer to be integrated to form a streamlined plastic recycling system. This system demonstrates the recovery and reuse of PETE (type #1 plastic) alongside other plastics.

OZZI Behavior & Barriers Research

This submitter proposed to bring five OZZI box drop n' go bins across campus to increase the return rate of OZZI boxes. The proposed budget for this project was $15,000. The committee decided after careful consideration and communication with Chartwells and other campus entities to not fund the addition of more OZZI box collection receptacles because the company was concurrently planning a $50k investment in upgrading the OZZI program to include three new box receptacles and to integrate C-Card functionality for tracking OZZI tokens.

CCAT Chickens

This project allocated $10,000 to have CCAT raise live chickens on campus. This project's purpose is to allow students at Cal Poly Humboldt have the opportunity to learn about food waste, sustainable agriculture, appropriate technology and livestock care. CCAT will obtain food waste on campus and use it as food for the chickens, then use manure produced to create compost for further agricultural projects.
