Schools Continue the Green Paper Movement
Posted by admin
McDaniel College is going green. The school has launched a plan to neutralize its harmful effects on the environment by next year, joining other colleges and universities in Maryland and throughout the country.
The 1,600-student school is surveying faculty, staff and students to find out how detrimental their driving, paper use and wasteful eating habits are to the environment.
The amount of printing paper used at libraries has been cut in half since the school began charging students 5 cents per page after they use 400 pages, said Donnella Folendorf, the school’s information technology office manager.
And a printer cartridge hasn’t been emptied yet this year; usually seven are drained every month, Folendorf said.
In addition, bins for recyclables have been placed next to trash cans throughout the campus — a convenience for which many residents have recently clamored.
