RECYCLEMANIA is on at TU!

RecycleMania is a national competition that compares the recycling rates and total pounds of recycling at colleges and universities across the nation.

As of April 3rd, TU is #61 out of 145, at 12.7 pounds per person! The competition lasts until Saturday, April 5, so make sure you clean out your office, clear out your stacks of old newspapers, and turn in those soda cans!
