I recently saw a facebook group for UPenn and they are participating in Recycle Mania. It's a 10 week competition in which schools participate to see which school recycles the most. Sadia had also mentioned this earlier this semester. Doing this in CCNY will create awareness of the fact that there are places to recycle at CCNY, since the Campus group has gotten more recycling bins for the school/cafeteria. Participating in this event would help CCNY reduce its footprint in terms of recycling at least. Also, it would help more people learn how to recycle at home, after they learned about it at school.
The competition starts at the end of January... and if we participate in it, we will be the first college in NYC to do so!

I think that we should definitely go for this! Mrs.Stanley and Jyoti mentioned that CCNY is already taking part in the competition but I personally have not come across anything about it on campus. Maybe that is a different recycling competition. This could be a great project to start the new semester with.
ReplyDeletei agree...this competition would be a great way to create awareness on campus.
ReplyDeleteGurpreet!!!! this is cool I love the idea that our school could be the first one to participate in this competition but i have a question. So how will that be possible? Isn't it others schools in NYC will or have already participated in this type of program? Or is it something new that has never been done before.
