Sustainable Health Care Packages
Project Summary:
The Sustainable Health Care Packages initiative provides holistic care bundles to Northern Arizona University students, bridging the gap between personal wellness and environmental justice. Spearheaded by the Office of Sustainability’s Health and Habits Team, this project directly tackles pressing challenges like food insecurity and period poverty by making eco-friendly resources widely available to the campus community. Each distributed package features a live succulent to support mental health, a reusable O2Go container, a sustainable menstrual cup, and a $20 dining voucher. To further empower students, these reusable Green NAU bags also include educational materials centered on plant-based diets and overall well-being. By removing financial and informational barriers, the team equips students with the necessary tools to care for their minds, bodies, and the planet, seamlessly integrating sustainable habits into daily campus life.
