Recyclemania began this week, January 27th to be more specific, with a record 400 schools participating!! Whewee! The competition started in 2001 with just 2 schools - Miami University (of Ohio) and Ohio University. Here’s a graph Recyclemania has posted on their website which shows participation and the number of pounds recycled each year since the initiation.
Kudos to Miami University and Ohio University for creating this much of an impact!! Isn’t it inspiring?
This year, California, New York, and Pennsylvania are at the top of lists for record number of participants.
Here are some articles relating to the recent kick off:
University of Wisconsin - Stout
I’d like to hear what your school is doing to promote Recyclemania on your campus!
