Trash Post 7: Post-Game Trash

A true Hokie recycling failure. The red solo cups, beverage lids, clear plastic salad container, beer can, and the corrugated cardboard pizza boxes could all have been recycled!

To be fair, it is very inconvenient to recycle these things if you're in a hurry--that's why it's so important for Virginia Tech to place recycling receptacles next to the trashcans around campus!

Trash Post 6: Happy Game-day!

Happy game-day Hokies!  I know everyone is excited to be tailgating and watching football, but please be responsible with your garbage!  Don't leave your empty beverage containers lying around campus, even if they are maroon & orange!

CT Article: Sustainability

Today's "He Said, She Said" feature in the Collegiate Times focuses on sustainability.  The "She Said" section is about the evils of styrofoam!  The author does not mention the eco-clamshell, though, if she sincerely believes that styrofoam is "evil" I hope she will purchase and use one!

Trash Post 5: Not a Trash Can!

It appears that people have been stuffing trash into the lower half of a cigarette receptacle.  This picture was taken outside Slusher Tower.

Trash Post 4: Recycling Overflow

A paper recycling center between East & Main Campbell.  Nice to see so much recycling, although I did spot some plain bags of garbage tossed into the pile.

Where's the Recycling at Turner Place?

Why aren't there recycling areas at Turner?  Since they want you to use plastic utensils and disposable plates, it seems like they could have created a better trash management system--perhaps a bin for composting paper plates in addition to simple plastic recycling.

Trash Post 3: Spoon

A lonely plastic spoon on the rock outside West End.  Seriously?  How hard is it to recycle a spoon?

Baby Squirrel!

Met this friendly baby squirrel walking around campus today.  He doesn't approve of pollution, so I hope you're all being careful to reduce, reuse, recycle!
