It happens to all of us: we’re on our way to class and realize we have just enough time to stop for a coffee. But we forgot our mug. And then in hits you: BAM!
BAM started in January 2012 as an Action Group through the PG Public Interest Research Group (PGPIRG) as a way to reduce the amount of disposable cups that are used on campus by providing a sustainable, renewable alternative. Now it has expanded thanks to generous donations of mugs from the UNBC Community.
How it Works
When you visit a Food Service location (Degrees or Good Earth) request a BAM mug and BAM! They will serve your drink in a mug. There will be a container by the Food Service Location where you can drop your empty mug where it will be cleaned in the dishwasher and reused! Please return them after use so that we can continue running the program.
Or, bring your own mug/thermos/container/utensils! Besides, you never know if there is any Free Food at UNBC that you can take! Be prepared :)
