RecycleMania
In 2011, Tufts University scored 6th in Massachusetts. Will 2012 be our year to win it all?
It’s time for all Jumbos to get in the game and recycle strong! Every spring semester since 2005, Tufts has competed in RecycleMania, the 8-week long competition that will crown one of 547 participating colleges and universities the biggest reducer of waste. Every time you go to throw something away, you should ask yourself if you could recycle it instead.
In 2011, not only did Tufts place 6th among its peer institutions in Massachusetts, we also came in first among the NESCAC schools. In order for Tufts to make its way to the top of the national scale, we need to focus on recycling our paper waste, which still makes up the most weight out of the recyclables in our trash bins. If you don’t like the grade written at the top of one of your papers, recycle it and someday you could find an “A” written across the top of that same paper.
Check back starting on February 5 to find out how the different Tufts dormitories and campus houses are doing! For more information about the competition, please visit the RecycleMania website.
