Campus recycling programs are great ways to educate students and the general public about waste minimization and resource conservation issues. Student activism plays an essential role in the evolution of campus recycling programs as well as on national and global environmental issues. Letter writing campaigns, petition drives, visibility events are powerful tools in creating a sustainable future while providing opportunities to educate the public. Today's college students grew up recycling and are our world's future leaders.
