1st campaign
Campus Race to Zero Waste (Formerly Recyclemania)
A brief description of the campaign:
Campus Race to Zero Waste (Formerly Recyclemania) is a national recycling competition that LMU participates in every year. This competition helps the university gauge its recycling efforts. The purpose of the competition is to raise awareness and participation of the student body as well as faculty and staff. Email blasts and social media are used to promote the event to the campus community. All promotion is targeted at all LMU community members. The campaign is promoted in the campus newspaper, The Loyolan. Results are reported continuously throughout the length of the competition to show progress and generate further support and participation. The LMU Facilities Management department also increased recycling opportunities by purchasing new recycling stations. In high traffic areas, regular trash cans were replaced with a three-compartment recycling station for solid waste, paper, and beverage containers, making it more convenient for students, faculty, and staff to recycle. This competition runs through the spring semester at LMU.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign:
The institution is successful in the recycling campaign by reducing waste numbers and increasing recycling around campus. Furthermore we can see/measure an increase in recycling as a result of campus participation from faculty, staff, and students. Our recycling numbers also remain high each year as reported by the challenge.
