Does the institution hold a campaign that meets the criteria for this credit?:
Yes

The name of the campaign(s):
Recyclemania

A brief description of the campaign(s):

Miami was a founding member of the Recyclemania recycling competition. In recent years Miami has competed in the per capita classic measuring weights of recycleables per capita. We promote the campaign through a variety of media, including via our Eco-Reps program, and measure before and after weights per residence hall and educational building. We conduct regular educational campaigns during the competition, provide updates on leading buildings/halls, and announce and reward the buildings at the end of the competition.


A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign(s):

Miami University placed 89th of 339 schools competing in the RecycleMania 2012 Tournament’s Per Capita Classic, with 16.45 cumulative pounds recycled per person on campus during the eight-week competition. This was an increase from 96th place (of 363 schools) and 16.1 pounds recycled per person in 2011.
