As part of our celebration of America Recycles Day, we will be putting together a recycling competition with the help of Residence Life, Peace and Justice, LEAF and Campus Dining! The competition will have two segments, one within the residence halls, and the other in the Duhawk Market and Barnes and Nobles Bookstore. Within the residence halls, each building will be competing against the others to see who can collect the most plastic bags from November 7-14th! Around campus, students will be given raffle tickets each time they choose to bring a reusable bag or skip using a plastic bag! The winners of the residence hall challenge and the raffle for reducing plastic bags on campus will be announced at our Harvest Fest on the 15th!
