A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
Over the past three academic years (beginning in spring 2009), Furman students, faculty, and staff have been engaged in an innovative student-led project to develop a comprehensive set of data on Furman's campus waste stream. Students have audited all residential campus waste, along with selected waste from academic buildings, over a three year period, collecting weight and volume measurements for total trash and recycling as well as the amount of items disposed of as trash that are recyclable. Students continue data collection this year, and are using the results of this and previous years to work with faculty and staff to develop a comprehensive recycling plan for Furman University.
