"HUG A TREE"

Especially on Earth Day, it is great to do a letter writing campaign or petition drive on a recycling issue. There are many opportunities for providing education and support on issues that effect recycling and waste reduction. This can be a good opportunity to get students to write letters to the University administration in support of campus recycling or maybe another environmental issue on campus. The Grassroots Recycling Network always has some excellent campaigns going that are pertinent to college campus interest. Check the web site for more info. on their different activities and legislative updates.
