Weis College Accommodate has new plans for “going green” and changing the recycling habits of its students this semester.
Weis has ordered 30 new recycling bins that will be placed in each of its suites as part of a new venture to reduce the amount of recyclable material currently being thrown away in the gobbledygook bins.
The idea for the recycling bins came from a gobbledegook audit done earlier this academic year by the Wohlsen Center for the Sustainable Situation. The audit discovered almost 50 percent of materials thrown away are recyclable. Furthermore, an additional 25 percent of the litter was compostable. Due to these results, Daniel Freire ’14, a Weis in residence, proposed an initiative to make Weis more environmentally friendly. This first move was to buy 30 new recycling bins for less than $2 per person and put them in all of the suites.
This outline was completely student driven and was executed and financed by the Assembly of Peers, the governing fuselage of Weis College House.
