Chartwells: Future Ideas
Project Green Thumb is a recycling and composting
program which educates individuals about properly
separating and disposing food leftovers and materials that
could be recycled or composted. The program is
implemented using strategically placed signage, recycling
bins, and environmental statistical data. Compostable
materials are utilized on campus or donated to local
communities. The program not only contributes to
environmental awareness and conservation, but also
contributes to reducing waste in landfills and trash disposal
related costs.
