| RecycleMania 2010 |
| |
| If you don’t recycle, now is the time to start! RecycleMania is a friendly competition for colleges and universities across the nation. Throughout a ten week period, participating schools report recycling and trash data and are then ranked according to which school collects the largest amount of recyclables per capita, the largest amount of total recyclables, the least amount of trash per capita, and the total recycling rate. The competition will run from Sunday, January 17 through Saturday, March 27. |
| |
| Aquinas is participating in this competition in hopes to increase recycling participation by students and staff, to increase awareness of the recycling program available here on campus, and to lower waste generated on campus by reducing, reusing, and recycling. |
