Recycle mania:
During the recycle mania event we try to increase the awareness of students, faculty and staff to recycle. The weights of glass, paper, aluminum, plastic and cardboard is measured before, during and after recycle mania. Also, there is a contest for which residence hall has recycled the most material in a predetermined week with dorm prize for that week.
Focus Frostburg:
This is a day of learning and discovery. Speakers provide talks on the subject of sustainability with concurrent sessions that run all day. Also, there is a separate daylong session filled with movies over the entire day that people may attend to see the movie or movies of interest. All movies are selected for their sustainability theme. Sustainability Poster Contest:
This event invites students to submit posters (with a sustainability theme) to an online forum (Face book) where anyone may like a given poster. The poster with the greatest number of likes wins the poster contest. This is also how the success of the campaign is judged. We receive additional interest in sustainability and contact information in this way.
