Recycle Mania

Many of you familiar with SCU may realize that sustainability is a big movement here on campus.  People on all different levels are dedicated to the mission of sustainability from those in operations, to students, to professors.  In addition to organizations such as the Environmental Studies Institute and the GREEN Club, Santa Clara is currently participating in RecycleMania.  RecycleMania is a competition between universities from all over the United States and Canada to see who can reduce waste and recycle the most.  Walking in front of Benson last week, you may have noticed the trash auditing or "dumpster diving" (an event in which students go through the trash to remove items from the trash that should have been recycled) that was going on.  RecycleMania is going on until March 28, so I encourage you to keep it in mind the next time you go to throw a plastic water bottle away in the trash.
