Celebrate Sustainably with Plastic Free Confetti!!
The use of conventional glitter is recognized widely as an issue by the CSU system. During the period up to graduation day, a significant number of students utilize glitter products, which ends up affecting wildlife and entering the campus riparian corridor. To combat this issue, Green Campus is offering an alternative option; compostable paper confetti.
