Drop by the center of the Memorial Union Quad Friday, Nov. 14 between 12 and 3 PM to help us celebrate America Recycles Day; spin the wheel and answer the trivia questions you land on to win your choice of a reusable spork or utensil set! (Pictured below)
America Recycles Day is “a nationally recognized day dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the United States.”
Nationally, 72% of Americans report consistently recycling at home, and Oregon has been a particularly strong leader in recycling. For example, did you know that Oregon’s recycling rate is 44% higher than the national average? Or that Corvallis was the first city in the state to have a curbside recycling program? How about that OSU’s recycling program is over 40 years old?
Recycling is a part of our heritage as Beavers, but we can also be doing better. Come by this Friday to learn more and celebrate!
This event is sponsored by the Waste Watchers, a volunteer group jointly organized by OSU Campus Recycling and the Student Sustainability Initiative.
