Need to make room in your closets for all that holiday loot? Is there something you’re still looking for, but the season of giving has emptied your wallet?
McLean County Freecycle is an online exchange opportunity through the Freecycle Network, a grassroots nonprofit movement of people who are giving (and getting) items for free in their own communities, finding ways to reuse and keep good stuff out of landfills.
Membership is free. The McLean County group is moderated by the Ecology Action Center with help from volunteers.
The Recycling Education Committee of GREENetwork has prepared signs to build awareness about recycling — designed to quickly make people aware of what items can be placed in recycling bins, or remind them not to put recyclable items in trash bins.
These signs are available to download and post in your own campus area.
From sustainable gift options to energy-efficient holiday lighting, wrapping paper alternatives, or taking a family nature hike, find ways to stay green this holiday season.
The Illinois Student Environmental Coalition (ISEC) has announced a spring intern position. Applications are due Dec. 13. More information at GreenStudents.org.
Do you bike on campus? Do you want to bike on campus but something is holding you back? We want your input on the bike racks on campus, or where you would like to see more bike racks in specific locations. Students in Environmental Health are looking to increase the number of bike racks on campus and provide more convenience for bikers. Your input matters!
To prevent prescription and over-the-counter drugs from entering the water supply, and in order to make it convenient to dispose of drugs properly, IWU has a drop-box located in the entry of the Security building at 110 E. Graham St. The drop-box site is open 24/7.
See guidelines for disposal from IWU Wellness.
