On Earth Day it is important to make plans for how you are going to "Get Out Green," when the time comes for move out in late May. We are here to help, by continuing a program that we started last year to encourage students to recycle, rather than pitch out old room carpets. This year we are making plans to take our test program campus wide, by providing a spot for every residence hall student to leave the carpets so they can be picked up and recycled. Since the process of recycling still takes energy to round up and re-manufacture the old carpets into something new, the best course of action is to re-use your carpet or take it with you to use in another location. Look for the "Get Out Green" posters that will be coming to a residence hall near you in the coming weeks to participate in our efforts to keep the carpets from going to the landfill! In the photo, the carpets from our pilot program in Independence and Thomas McKean Halls are headed for the recycling bin.
