Join the Bracelet Challenge

Join the Bracelet Challenge to help reduce the consumption and waste of disposables at KAUST.

The aim of this challenge is to not use disposable items for two full weeks. All you need to do is wear a challenge bracelet on your right wrist. If you use a disposable item, you must switch your bracelet to your left wrist and start over for two weeks.

Our three color-coded bracelets each have a different challenge:

  • Orange for the plastic bag challenge
  • Green for disposable cups challenge
  • Blue for the plastic/disposable water bottle challenge

Your challenge is completed when you manage to wear your bracelet on the same arm for two weeks in a row.

Join the Bracelet Challenge and do your bit to help reduce waste. The bracelets will be distributed before and after the second WEP keynote lecture (tonight) and during other various WEP events.

The Bracelet Challenge is an initiative proposed by the Student Green Group in collaboration with the Office of Enrichment Programs and supported by Graduate Affairs.
