U-M is a gorilla among recyclers
It looks like U-M is putting up a good green fight. Excerpt: "Students, faculty and staff collected nearly 750,000 pounds of recyclables during the 10-week 2013 RecycleMania competition. The collection total placed U-M 11th among 365 colleges and universities participating in the nationwide competition's Gorilla Prize category. At the conclusion of the program, the university’s efforts generated the following results: • 31.1 percent recycling rate per person (Grand Champion category). • 11.4 pounds of recycling per person (Per Capita Recycling category). • 36.6 pounds of waste per person (Waste Minimization category). • 746,025 pounds of collected recyclables (Gorilla Prize category)."
