Recyclemania
A brief description of the campaign:
Various events during an eight week period to engage students, faculty, and staff. We have several opportunities during the competition to bring recyclables in exchange for a t-shirts. We participate in a Game Challenge to collect recycling during and after a basketball game. We use student volunteers from student organizations to help collect the recycling and man an information table. We also have a departmental competition to encourage recycling among the staff and educators. In addition we sponsor an art contest. The entries must consist of 75% repurposed/recyclabale materials.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign:
The positive impact is measured by the number of bags we collect during the t-shirt give away events and weights of materials collected at the basketball game and departmental competition. We also consider it a positive impact when we are able to involve new groups and individuals who compete or volunteer to help with events.
