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 (like 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 distributing Generation Conscious laundry detergent sheets to students across campus. The sheets were then purchased by SHIFT and provided to students for free—initially during Move-In at Orientation in August, and later through Oh SNAP! The selected detergent sheets are non-toxic, hypoallergenic, biodegradable, and significantly reduce plastic waste compared to conventional laundry products. They also produce fewer suds, conserving water and reducing wear on washing machines.
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.
Truck for OhSNAP!
In spring of 2023, Michelle Long submitted a proposal for general funds for the continued support of OhSNAP!. Upon the committee requesting a more specific project, OhSNAP! requested funding for a new, hybrid vehicle to allow them better transportation of resources around the greater humboldt area. Over the summer 2023, OhSNAP!
Indigenous Foods Festival
This idea requested funding for the second Indigenous Foods Festival (IFF) at Cal Poly Humboldt, which previously had 350 attendees. The Indigenous Foods Festival is focused on uplifting Indigenous Food Sovereignty across many regions. This inspiring event centered around the important work that folks across communities are doing to elevate Indigenous knowledges and foodways.
