REthink has cooperated closely with We Conserve on several projects, pooling our strengths to accomplish more than either organization could have on its own.
We did a series of trash and recycling sorts in campus buildings, to investigate the composition of the trash, and how effective the University's recycling program is. The results of that study suggested several concrete steps the University can take to reduce waste, improve the recycling program, and cut costs. A copy of the report can be found here.
We Conserve is a key partner in the REfill Campaign.
We helped the Department of Univesrity Housing implement recycling during moveout in Spring '09, a very succesful program that diverted several tons of waste from the landfill. We look forward to working with them again in Spring 2010!
