Paper waste includes napkins, paper towels and food-soiled cardboard Please avoid deposition plastic wrappers, creamer cups and butter pats in these bins. EarthRight says that composting turns wastes like paper, vegetable produce and other nonmeat kitchen wastes into material that resembles soil. Putting compost back into gardens will allow Penn State to return organic matter to its source, soil, in a form that is beneficial to plants. Composted material improves the water-holding properties of soil, helps it to stay aerated, and adds back essential nutrients for growing plants. Thus, I encourage all other Penn State students who care about the environment to utilize these composting facilities.
Elections help to guarantee some direct responsibility to the individuals who vote.
If the elected representative does not perform well, the representative can be voted out. Elections selecting representatives should be open and advertised so that each constituent can directly vote for their representative. Currently, elections are held according to the discretion of individual graduate departments. Delegates are selected on a department by department basis, instead of a direct, University-wide election. If a department doesn't want to hold elections, then the students may nominate themselves or be selected by their department administration.
