RecycleMania

RecycleMania 2008 is in full swing as students from 10 schools compete in the enviro-friendly competition to see who recycle most.

A February 4th release from the WSU Center for Civic Engagement described the event and some of the changes that have been made from last years comprtition.

"The annual RecycleMania competition has begun, and will run for 9 more weeks. This year in addition to recycling; WSU has elected to participate in the Waste Minimization portion of the competition. In this competition Total Recycling and Waste are added together to establish a percapita number. The idea is to reduce the amount of combined weight per person. WSU Recycling invites student groups and ASWSU to work with us on waste reduction strategies over the next 9 weeks and in the future. We encourage the entire campus community to reduce the amount of waste we create, in addition to recycling. Thank you for your support."
