Conduct a thorough environmental audit to assess the amount of solid waste generated at UK and estimate the percentage of that waste that may be recyclable. Increase the percentage of solid waste recycled at UK above the federal standards. The feasible annual percent increase should be determined by an environmental audit. The materials recycled should include a larger proportion of cans and paper in addition to the large scrap materials currently salvaged by the UK Recycling Program. Include students in developing a recycling program at par with other state universities.
Recycling bins ought to be made accessible to students.
With more than 800 recycling points on campus, it is not appropriate for students to pack recyclable items home or to residence halls. Education and adequate signs are lacking. Once the petition sheet is filled or you have gotten as many signatures as you can please return it to the Green Thumb mailbox in the Student Center Room 106 or at one of our meetings .
