My reform for Unit 2 is about recycling. My thinking is that even though TCU is supposedly promoting a greener lifestyle, it's not really happening. I want to change that. My main goals for the website are to increase awareness of recycling, to make people aware of what they can recycle and what they can't, and to suggest increases to the types of products that can be recycled. The biggest thing there is newspaper. We cannot recycle newspaper at TCU right now. That's ridiculous. Also, in most class buildings, the only recycling available is for paper. That means that faculty cannot recycle glass or plastic drink cans at all. It's a little better in the dorms, because we have a recycling bin along with the rest of the trash cans, but people throw trash in there as well. And since I'm betting a lot of people don't know what they can or cannot recycle, they toss stuff in there that can't be recycled.
Some of the things I want to suggest are:
*Easy to access list of guidelines for recycling
*Increase the types of materials we can recycle
*More recycling bins (one outside for every trash can)
*More recycling bins inside the dorms (clearly labelled)
*Promote recycling in general
Of course, TCU's website is evil, so it's hard to find things: I had to Google the list of guidelines that I have right now, and it's only for paper recycling. It's supposedly from the Risk Management website, but when I went there, there's nothing there that deals with recycling so I have no idea where this list comes from. It's weird. Oh well, all praise Google!!
