Worthwhile Efforts?
How this truck looks everyday.
Higher participation is vital.

Worthwhile Efforts?
Low participation means low results Physical Plant workers seen throwing
recycling into garbage dumpsters Dorms without elevators still lack recycle
bins anywhere on floor No clear incentive for students to recycle on
campus!

Who is accountable?
School administration? Free Press: “The school however did not provide
a single recycling bin out on the football field area.” Evan Ticknor.
Students? Reduce amount of paper, plastic, glass, and
cardboard thrown away every semester.

recycling into the trash
Administrative Assistants One of the leading recyclers on campus they too

Recycling Opportunities
We need more places on campus to recycle!
Recycling in cafeteria? ~ Not an option… thousands of plastic utensils thrown away every week.
