Are faculty and departments on board with efforts by the intern and students to improve recycling?
The majority of people are on board with the idea of improving recycling. The primary problem fall on a little bit of cynicism on the part of some, even environmentally friendly, faculty and staff, as well as a past system that was unclear, letting people going through the motions of recycling without a proper program being in place. This allowed for discontent with the nonexistent program. Because there was no education for the campus on recycling procedures, and a lack of clarity within Facilities, problems arose. However, the past few years have seen great improvements both in the efforts of Facilities to increase recycling and the effort of student groups to advertise proper procedures. This semester in particular, proper methods of recycling were given to all departments and offices on campus. While the effort to recycle still falls on individuals, departments, and offices, I feel that many are making the effort to do it right.
