Don't know how right she was then or now. I know that the recycling efforts in my office are genuine, couldn't be so sure for the city wide efforts.Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32622865.post-7380984293116488452007-09-19T09:12:00.000-05:002007-09-19T09:12:00.000-05:00If it turns out that you're right, and the facilit...If it turns out that you're right, and the facility doesn't recycle, expose them! I'm sure an anonymous tip to either the school or local newspaper would cause them to investigate, giving the school some major incentive to ACTUALLY recycle. :)Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833417790298362108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32622865.post-82799067700849063372007-09-19T08:33:00.000-05:002007-09-19T08:33:00.000-05:00Good point, Anonymous.

I would also speak to the Director of Facilities for more information about how waste and recyclables are handled on your campus.<BR/><BR/>:0)<BR/>MMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14013969477950426381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32622865.post-81954071461268561072007-09-18T23:37:00.000-05:002007-09-18T23:37:00.000-05:00I obviously don't know the details of your situati...I obviously don't know the details of your situation, but if you haven't already done so, I'd encourage you to talk with your recycling manager (or the head of facility management if you don't have a recycling manager) about this before jumping to conclusions. I hear similar stories quite often and they usually end up being based on some sort of misunderstanding. If you ask your recycling manager, I bet he or she will be able to explain what is going on, especially if the school claims to have one of the strongest recycling programs in the country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
