Action Christopher Uhl received an award from Eco-Action recently, for his efforts to encourage paper reuse in the classroom. The award, is a new system that honors professors who promote paper reuse and reduce paper consumption. The award given to Uhl, used the back of an old wildlife poster. The award also contained writings about Uhl's efforts in paper reuse. The award was then displayed outside of Uhl's office.
Recycled paper is used in the classroom for homework, quizzes and handouts.
Uhl's students are required to to recycle used materials for their personal journal. Uhl contributed to the Penn State Indicators Report earlier this year. It reported that Penn State consumes 2,000 tons of paper a year. For a complete story, read the October 24 Daily Collegian article titled, ' Paper reuse at Penn State '.
