Recycle for the Win:
The challenge to faculty, staff and students is to maintain our rank as #1 in Virginia for the third year in a row. UMW will face off in the Stephen K Gaski Per Capita Classic through March 29 to see which college recycles the most on a per capita basis. Glass, aluminum, plastic, mixed paper and cardboard all count toward our recycling goals.
UMW is in its seventh year in the national competition that encourages waste reduction and recycling on campuses nationwide. 392 schools, including 4.5 million students and 1.1 million faculty and staff, participating in 48 states, the District of Columbia and Canada compete for the rights to declare recycling domination!
Weekly rankings, posted at http://recyclemaniacs.org/scoreboard will track our progress rallying faculty, staff and students to improve their recycling habits and win!
