I recently completed my final project in JRNL 419. I compared energy conservation and recycling at SIUC to ISU. Although I didn't have a solid end comparison, I did find out some interesting things about SIUC.
-According to a graph provided by Andilee Warner, between July 2007 and June 2008 the University diverted an average of 40 percent of its waste.
-According to Justin Harrell, the projects that the $4.2 million dollar grant helped fund, are saving the University money at a rate higher than expected, which means it should take the University less time to pay back it back.
-Although the University doesn't really make it known, SIUC is one of a couple hundred schools that take part in Recyclemania, which is a friendly 10-week competition to see which university can recycle the most. Visit the Web site above to see how you can help SIUC!
