Mathes Waste Audit! |
|
 |
Mathes Eco Reps conducted a waste audit at the end of Fall quarter. Their biggest discovery was that the dorm's paper towel waste was far lower than what has been found in WWU academic building waste audits. This can be contributed to the composting program Mathes currently has in its floor bathrooms. |
Eco Reps Receive Credit |
During winter and spring quarters the Eco Reps will now have to option to sign up to earn class credit! Each quarter, Eco Reps will earn one credit, which will be based on a S/U (satisfactory/unsatisfactory) grading scale. The goal of the credit is to reward Eco Reps for the time and effort they put into campus sustainability and for the impact they make on Western's campus. The option to earn credit will also help ResRAP recruit new Eco Reps in the future and expand the goals of the program. |
