Earth Cups at UVA

Club Description

Earth Cups is a sustainable product company, started by two college students, operating with the mission to Make Sustainability Cool. They were inspired by the ubiquitous red solo cups they saw littered around their campus, and wanted to start a movement to make sustainability the new norm among college students. They launched Earth Cups, 100% plant-based and compostable cups that look and feel just like a typical single-use plastic cup, but serve as a much more sustainable alternative. Earth Cups now has 2,000+ college ambassadors and is quickly spreading around the nation, specifically focusing on reducing plastic waste on college campuses.This organization will act as the official UVA chapter of Earth Cups. We will work to spread their mission to Make Sustainability Cool at UVA and reduce the plastic waste. This club will act as a community-place for like-minded individuals that want to build a better future. Whether you are interested in going into environmentalism, startups, marketing, or just want to make a difference, this is the place for you. We will host regular events to spread awareness and push students to shift away from plastic and make plant-based cups the new go to, especially targeting off-grounds groups.
