Stop. Think. Recycle. The most important thing you can do is take individual action. The RecycleMania team will report the collective efforts of the University each week in total waste and total recycling. So the more you recycle, the more impact you can have. And the less waste you create the better! Know where to recycle. Each College House and residence has a place to put trash and recycling. Make sure you put the right items in the right place. If you have questions, ask your RA, GA, SA or House Dean.

Educate yourself. Know what can be recycled. You can recycle paper and glass-cans-plastics, known as co-mingled. Consider packaging when making purchases. Don’t use plastic bags unless you really need them. Use reusable bags. Carry a reusable mug and water bottle. Educate others. Talk to others about recycling and waste reduction. Encourage your hallmates and suite mates. |














Students and faculty alike lined up to sign Penn's Recycling Pledge at Houston Hall yesterday. Members of Penn Environmental Group (PEG) handed out free Nalgene bottles with the Recyclemania logo on them to the first signers of the Pledge, and even President Amy Gutmann stopped by to add her signature to the Pledge.
