Don't walk past the recycle bin-pitch your recyclables in and we could win!
Carnegie Mellon has joined the "Rush to Recycle" Challenge sponsored
by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). We're
pitted against 17 other colleges and universities across the state.

Now through November 30, 2002, items recycled on campus, (steel and
aluminum cans, plastic and glass bottles, office paper, and cardboard)
counts toward our bi-weekly recycling weigh-in. The school that
increases its recycling percentage the most wins the Challenge and will
be honored with a press event on campus and given recognition in the
local/regional press and on the DEP website.

DEP also will place an advertisement in the other participating
schools' newspapers acknowledging the winning school's success and will
sponsor a promotional event on the campus to recognize student, faculty
and staff participation.  They will be coming to Carnegie Mellon
Thursday, October 10, from 12:00noon to 1:00pm and will hold a
recycling event by the entrance of Doherty Hall.

For more information about the "Rush to Recycle" Challenge and to see how
we're  doing, visit DEP through the PA PowerPort at www.state.pa.us or
