Education Campaign

The Committee has created a working educational campaign to target audiences in the Loyola community of best practices to reduce waste, reuse, and recycle.  Educational activities include exhibiting at campus sponsored events, departmental competitions, student group competitions, dorm competitions and collection/donation drives.  The opportunities to organize fun and eductional activities are plentiful. 

Have Great Ideas You Want to Share
