Earth Month Recycling Initiatives
In each passing year, our society is becoming increasingly aware of environmental degradation. At RIT, we continually search for ways to conserve our resources and strive for tomorrow’s sustainability. What better time for you to make a difference than this month. FMS Recycling is embracing the Earth Month purpose and is promoting environmental awareness through several activities sponsored by FMS and other RIT groups:
Week 1 to 2: Spring Cleaning Week Paper Waste (including cardboard) accounts for more than 75% of RIT’s waste. This week focuses on paper recycling and cleaning out your “junk”.
Week 2: Reuse-a-Shoe Collection Drive Have old athletic shoes? Nike’s Reuse-a-Shoe Collection Drive grinds the shoes to re-use for athletic surfaces. Look for collection drives around campus.
