Bike Rally Day
None
A brief description of the campaign (1st campaign):
The Bike Rally Day was a campaign created by the Swain Scholars, as they saw the need for safer transportation around campus. They felt that the event was a success we would like to continue annually. The purpose of the event was to spread awareness for bike and pedestrian safety, as well as, provide information to increase the knowledge of students on campus on the rules of the road. We invited vendors to give away food and prizes, promote sustainability, and provide information and laws. We did have a pledge for participants to sign which could provide somewhat of an attendee count. We also gave a very small survey to anyone who wished to receive giveaways.

Think Outside the Bottle

A brief description of the campaign (2nd campaign):
At Coastal Carolina University, Think Outside the Bottle is a student-driven campaign that started in August 2009, which includes interactive and passive activities throughout campus. The Sustainability Initiative continues this student program as one of its ongoing initiatives to educate the university and community about the bottled water industry.
One of the ways students try to influence and educate their peers is with the Tap Water Challenge, which is a taste test pitting bottled versus tap water to see if people can really taste a difference. Another program is the bottle walk, which is a passive visual education tool to illustratrate the mass number of water bottles that American purchase each year.
