RecycleMania
None
A brief description of the campaign (1st campaign):
RecycleMania is a friendly competition and benchmarking tool for college and university recycling programs to promote waste reduction activities to their campus communities. Over a 10-week period, schools report recycling and trash data which are then ranked according to who collects the largest amount of recyclables per capita, the largest amount of total recyclables, the least amount of trash per capita, or have the highest recycling rate. With each week’s reports and rankings, participating schools watch how their results fluctuate against other schools and use this to rally their campus communities to reduce and recycle more.

The name of the campaign (2nd campaign):
Green Office
None
A brief description of the campaign (2nd campaign):
Our Green Office program certifies faculty and staff office suites based on things like energy use, waste reduction, campus participation and purchasing decisions. We start with a simple audit to provide them with some tips for improving their practices, then challenge them to make personal lifestyle choices that are more sustainable. Once they demonstrate these sustainable practices, they earn the honor of a Green Office Certification. Faculty and staff are quickly learning how their day-to-day actions affect not just their offices, but the campus, community and planet. They’re more aware of how they use resources, and they see how positive individual choices can add up and make a real, measurable difference.
None
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign (2nd campaign):
The Green Office program serves as an incentive for departments to be recognized for the good habits they already have, or encourage them to alter their behavior to reflect more sustainable practices. Since our school's mission supports environmental stewardship, we are able to leverage that and keep track of which offices are choosing to participate.
