Dykstra Recycling Competition

If anyone lives in Dykstra Hall there is a great opportunity to increase recycling among on-campus residents!  This week only (8th week) Dykstra Hall will be participating in a recycling competition.  Each floor should donate as many plastic, glass or other recyclables as possible because the money will go back to the winning floor.  If that weren't enough to convince you, the floor that recycles the most will receive a chocolate fountain party. Now who doesn't love chocolate and fountains?

In all seriousness, if every Dysktra resident were to contribute one plastic bottle, we as a collective residence hall would be able to recycle close to one thousand bottles.  Since the energy saved by recycling just one plastic bottle will power a computer for 25 minutes, multiply that by 1,000 and that's enough energy to power a computer for 17 days, 8 hours and 40 minutes.  And recycling 10 tons of PET plastic saves as much greenhouse gas emissions as removing more than three cars from the road for one year.  Have I convinced you yet? Dykstra residents, GO RECYCLE!
