A brief description of the campaign (1st campaign):
Stevens has participated in RecycleMania. It is a friendly competition and benchmarking tool for college and university recycling programs to promote waste reduction activities to their campus communities. Over an 8-week period each spring, colleges across the United States and Canada report the amount of recycling and trash collected each week and are in turn ranked in various categories based on who recycles the most on a per capita basis, as well as which schools have the best recycling rate as a percentage of total waste and which schools generate the least amount of combined trash and recycling. With each week’s updated ranking, participating schools follow their performance against other colleges and use the results to rally their campus to reduce and recycle more.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign (1st campaign):
Motivate students and staff to increase recycling efforts and reduce waste generation.
Generate attention and support for campus recycling programs.
Encourage colleges to measure and benchmark recycling activity in their effort to improve their programs over time.
