Trash Talk

While out this morning walking Gracie (my miniature schnauzer) I noticed a plastic water bottle in the road. My first thought was "Hey, that should be recycled". I'm pretty proud of that cuz' it shows that my whole mindset about garbage is changing over to the recycling mode. It's sort of like taking high school Spanish class and then, before you know it, you start thinking in Spanish and maybe even dreaming in Spanish. Then I picked up the bottle and actually brought it into work to add to our Green Corner.

I haven't mentioned much about the Green Corner of my office yet so now is the time to confess. I have become more than the office bully when it comes to recycling. I sacrificed a corner of my office (48 inches by 36 inches) to contain recycling containers (cardboard ones supplied by the Physical Plant Recycling department) and info on Recycling in Stillwater. So if you happen to be in Engineering South and are carrying around your recycling, fee free to drop by!

In my quest to find out more about the recycling programs on campus I have been dismayed to learn that the webpage information is terribly out of date. It seems that the recycling committee has disbanded and hasn't met in YEARS. It also appears that the only department that I can find any info about that has an active recycling program is the Library. I plan on taking a trip over there in the near future to share some info and possible collaboration ideas. My one last hope is that ECO-OSU is still a functioning entity. If anyone has any information, please pass it along and I will post it.
