Time for our Question of the Week!

The first person to answer correctly will win this one-of-a-kind reusable bag! Gifted to Campus Recycling from the Algalita Marine Research Institute, this bag is made of a used T-shirt, fabric mesh and a cord to cinch it up. It is a perfect alternative to a plastic produce bag and can help you reduce plastic waste.
