Final Post

Well its been an interesting journey from the beginning of this school year to now; however, I do feel myself growing up in a gradual sense. I feel like my choices were made well and that I have learned a lot of new things about myself and the world around me. I already have switched majors once and hopefully I have found where I need to be.
College is a wonderful time in my life and I am learning to find my niches in this large community. I am excited to see where the next 4 years lead me and how it all ends up. Maybe I will come back and read this blog to see how I have truly transformed.

Sustainability on Campus

So my last paper was about recycling on campus and today in a meeting with people from throughout the sustainability office on campus I learned a few things about campus. We have now diverted almost 50% of all of wastes from a landfill to new recycled uses. Last year there were no recycling bins on campus and this year we have over 100 strategically placed along with trashcans. However because there are some many trashcans left progress is not as good as it could be. The goal of 60% diversion is set for 2015 and it should definitely be achievable.
A few things to do are make supplies used around campus better packaged to cut down on un-recyclable wastes. Also just educating students to fully think about their choices on campus and make sustainable options available throughout campus including some of the franchises on campus.
