CAS Going Green

Look at these news signs in Hazzy, they were made from scrap from the Print Shop and look great! Not only is the Print Shop lowering the amount of trash they produce,  but also reusing materials.

Check out this great video about CFLs! I learned some interesting info from this ny times article. 

Remember, you can pick up a free CFL from your RA office by trading in your old incandescent light bulb. Has your RA office run out of bulbs? Just let me know and I can place an order for your hall.

The Last Week of RecycleMania!

Lauren Brois March 23rd, 2009

We are finally in Week 10! It is the last week to get your hall in the running to win the Wii in the raffle. Just a reminder, each hall that wins a week places themselves in the running to win a Wii. The hall that recycles the most throughout the competition will win the pizza party 

Check out these photos of how RAs are encouraging recycling in their halls
