r.Cup- Volunteers at Times Union

Date: Mar 2, 2019 at 5:00pm to 11:00pm
Background on r.Cup -- During my team's past work on large tours and festivals, we were constantly shocked by the loads of trash left behind on the floor at venues. r.Cup was created and launched as a disruptive environmental initiative to try and reduce single-use plastic with the opportunity to engage large audiences in a larger conversation. The concept is simple: upon purchasing a beverage of any kind, fans rent a tour-branded r.Cup for a small deposit. At the end of the event, fans choose to either take their cup home or return it for their deposit back. We piloted r.Cup during last summer's U2 Joshua Tree Tour and fans absolutely loved it. But, we need help from local volunteers to make this program a success. Our environmentally focused volunteer opportunities rely on fans, local music lovers and environmentalists to get a few show tasks done. Examples of volunteer task include: -Call time 5pm -Engage with fans about our mission -Collecting returned cups -Staffing r.Cup return stations -Help close out at the end of the night Come enjoy some free music and help a great environmental cause!
