Water bottle reduction

From 2007-08 to 2008-09, water bottle
purchases through food stores reduced by
32%

Be Spartan Green bottles distributed to
residence hall students and as giveaways
for special events
6
Recycled Materials
 In
some instances, decreasing inputs
may decrease the amount of recycled
materials collected
 Recycling
should increase over time as
the breadth of materials collected
expands
