UNL second among Big Ten in 'Game Day' recycling challenge
After the mountains of waste were measured and reported, the Huskers finished second in the Big Ten Conference in two key categories of the Environmental Protection Agency's Game Day Challenge 2011, with 6,880 pounds of waste recycled.
UNL's gameday recycling event was Oct. 29 vs. Michigan State. On that day more than 75 student and staff volunteers participated in the recycling effort inside and outside Memorial Stadium. EPA released the results of the nationwide Game Day Challenge 2011 earlier this week. Read more about this challenge on Today@UNL.
