TGIF forum to focus on RecycleMania competition
In preparation for the annual RecycleMania competition, the next
“Think Green, It’s Friday” forum will be a RecycleMania workshop from noon-1
p.m. Friday, Jan. 18 in the Montpelier Room at E-hall.
The session will explain the RecycleMania competition and
give tips to students, faculty and staff on how to responsibly dispose of food
and recyclable material.
RecycleMania is a friendly competition among college and
university reduction programs that begins Sunday, Feb. 3 and ends Friday, April
5. Over the eight-week period, participating colleges and universities from
around the country report the amount of recycling and trash collected each week.
The schools are ranked in various categories based on the amount recycled and
also on the least amount of combined trash and recycling generated.
This will be JMU’s seventh year participating in
RecycleMania.
The TGIF Series is sponsored by the Office of Environmental
Stewardship and Sustainability and will feature a different topic one Friday of
each month during the school year.
