This blog site is a space where a small class from Florida Gulf Coast University will be posting their ideas, videos, music, pictures, and personal views about recycling and the 350 Program. The 350 event is recognized around the globe and this year we are bringing it to FGCU in a new creative way. October 24th is the day to look out for our way of expressing some of the goals of this 350 event:
-to recycle as much of our trash as possible
-to conserve our natural resources
-to extend landfill life
-to minimize the increasing cost of disposal, and
-to improve the quality of life in our community.
At Florida Gulf Coast University on October 24th we will seek to get the attention of students on campus about the reality of whats really being recycled on our sustainable campus!

It may be possible to personally bring all of the bottles that we collect down to a recycle company, I know they had them up north, and get some cash to help the university with other green projects, or to help fund one of our projects.
ReplyDeleteAs a different project, I'm going to research how sustainable FGCU actually is compared to other Florida universities. We're somewhat spoiled here, because most of us who live on campus live in a four bedroom apartment with 2 full bathrooms and a dishwasher in every apartment. I'm definitely not complaining. I live on campus and I love the set up. I think that's what attracts many new students. I just wonder how electricity and water bills of our "sustainable" school compare to other colleges in Florida.
