All throughout our STU campus we come across certain blue recycling bins that are placed in classrooms and I noticed the other day when I was walking to class that students aren’t really aware of which materials to place in these blue bins. I understand some of us might be nervous not knowing which materials to place in these blue bins, but don’t worry because you are not alone. I believe students weren’t thought the proper way to recycle these materials and that’s why they decide to place them in the undesignated bins, but hopefully by YOU placing these materials in the right bins we can teach others by example and help our STU community become a green campus.The materials that should ONLY be placed in these blue bins are: plastic, cardboard, newspaper, office paper, metal, and glass.
*Action Tip of the Day- Get rid of the Plastic
2.5 million individual plastic water bottles are thrown away every hour in the US. Start using a reusable water bottle and just say no to plastic

Dear Andrea, How do you relate the action tip with the content of your blog? I think action tips should be related to your content. Regarding your commentary, I think we should launch a strong campaign to continue educating students, faculty and staff about the importance of recycling waste. I feel that people do get so nervous when they see the color bins and they do not know what to do.
ReplyDeleteDr. Moyano,
ReplyDeleteI did not take into consideration my action tips to my post. I will have a new action tip related to this post. I also agree with you in regards to getting our STU community more involved with recycling. I will get in contact with Professor Kane who’s in charge of all the recycling bins and see what else could be done to spread the word.
I agree; I often see STU students get nervous or they just throw anything in the blue bins. I believe if an individual is going to use the bins at the university, shall take the time to see which bin they're using for their trash.
ReplyDeleteGreat advice to give for your Blog!
Danni,
ReplyDeleteDitto! I am going to try to set-up a campaign with professor Kane who was the person that brought these bluen bins to the university and see what other ways there are to help educate our students for the proper way of recycling. Thanks for the comment :)
