The key to future success of the next generation is creating sustainable environments in which they can maintain and preserve natural resources. Northwood University is kicking off their campus-wide recycling collection to do just that.
The project “Green is the NU Blue at Northwood University” kicked off November 1st with the goal of collecting and recycling paper, cardboard, plastic, and aluminum items from around campus. St. Clair senior, Lex J. Rutledge is working with university staff and students to ensure that the program is a success.
Some of the efforts that have been implemented over the past decade include:
- Additional bike racks to promote bike traffic
- The creation of a butterfly garden
- The addition of water fill stations around campus
Rutledge is currently looking for a student to take over her position in the project as this is her last year at Northwood. “This is a program that Northwood really needs, and it’s something I believe the majority of the student body will value,” says Rutledge.
