Students' requests for more recycling 'implausible'
Alexandra Swanberg | November 1Since sustainability became one of its core values in 2008,UNM has pushed for a greener campus, but student apathy has hindered efforts. Mary Clark, program specialist at the Office of Sustainability, said UNM has an award-winning recycling program with a 40 percent diversion rate (the percentage of waste that is recycled). She said students think the department isn’t doing enough to encourage participation in sustainability efforts. “There’s still a lot of work to be done, and a lot of that is because we’re an ever-changing population, and we need to keep educating them,” she said. Linda McCormick, the resource conservation manager, said the recycling program that began in the early 90s didn’t involve students, but she has taken steps to curb the issue.
