As important community institutions, colleges and universities
can serve as effective role models of how large organizations
can reduce waste and conserve resources. Colleges and
universities provide a training environment on effective recycling
and waste reduction practices that can be implemented in other
organizational settings. A large number of U.S. and Canadian
college and universities have extensive recycling and waste
reduction programs, some well over a decade old, and many
of these are now examining how they can be transformed into
completely sustainable institutions targeting Zero
Waste as one of their long range goals.
GRRN wants to help you achieve zero - Zero Waste, that
is. The goal of this section of the GRRN website is to
help students and other campus community members tap into
the wealth of web-accessible information that is available
on waste reduction and recycling. In these pages you will
find an annotated listing of recycling and waste reduction
web resources for colleges and universities, opportunities
to take action in waste reduction campaigns, and, finally,
a review of useful web resources for creating sustainable
or "green" campuses.
Note:
the What's Hot areas in
red denote what is particularly useful at the links sited.
Also:
It would have been very easy to include considerably more
links to other excellent sites in this Campus Zero Waste subsite.
This is a only starting point. If a site you think is excellent
isn't here, you're probably right! Because there are so
many sites, we chose a small list that not only reflects
the wide variety of resources available but also links admirably
to the greater set of available resources on the net. Our
links database is growing daily.
