ERC and ASUN Sponsor Recyclemania
Continuing through March 27, the Environmental Resource Center and ASUN are sponsoring Recyclemania!, a friendly competition and benchmarking tool for college and university recycling programs to promote waste reduction activities to their campus communities.
In this competition, they'll be keeping track of how much is recycled and how much is thrown away. If a member of either group catches you recycling, you'll get a coupon for free coffee. Find out more about Recyclemania at their website.
