Huskies Kick Butts

On Earth Day 2016 — Friday, April 22 — join TAG, Students Expressing Environmental Dedication (SEED), and the UW American Lung Association (ALA) for a campus-wide cigarette butt cleanup to show administration that we Huskies recognize the social and environmental injustices of tobacco, and that a tobacco-free campus policy is the logical next step in our climate change mitigation efforts.
