Looking for something SIMPLE that will change the planet for the better?

Well the answer is in your morning cup of coffee!

 

Every day, thousands of cups of coffee are sold on Buffalo State’s campus and nearly every single one of them has a CARDBOARD SLEEVE!

       

That Cardboard sleeve is RECYCLABLE!  As are so many other everyday items that you may not have considered.

Much of our landfill waste is paper products that can be recycled but are not for various reasons: Some include...

·         Not educated on what is and is not recyclable

·         Proper recycling bins unavailable in a convenient location

·         A lazy or uncaring attitude

 

Most of our trash bins here at Buffalo State have a recycling component available right next to it.  PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO REMOVE THE CARDBOARD SLEEVE AND PLACE IT IN THE RECYCLING!

 

Just this small effort will make a world of difference!
