Recycling Campaign
A brief description of the campaign, including how students and/or employees were engaged (2nd campaign):
All employees were given new recycling bins for their offices, with small bagless trash "buddy bins" attached. An illustrated instruction sheet was provided with each bin. Emails were also sent to support the program. Employees are now expected to empty their own bins into the hallway bins, which include recycling bins. New sets of hallway bins were provided to make this easier for employees.

Campus recycling of bottles and cans doubled.
