Sunday, January 18th marked the beginning of RecyleMania, a 10-week competition where schools report recycling and trash data which are then ranked according to who collects the largest amount of recyclables per capita, the largest amount of total recyclables, the least amount of trash per capita, or have the highest recycling rate.More than 400 colleges and universities across the United States participated in the contest last spring, with GW receiving top ten honors in two categories. This year, GW hopes to sweep the school wide recycle mania spirit in even bigger ways, hosting campus wide events and sustainability initiatives. To help with the recycling effort Recylemania suggests getting in the habit of putting recyclable paper, bottles and cans in the appropriately marked bins in your residence halls, classrooms and office spaces. Visit the Marvin center and check out the chart outside of J street Café to follow GW’s progress against other participating local schools or check out RecyleMania at the Woman’s Basketball game next Wednesday at 7:30 to show your support for a greener GW.
