Summer Programs Pt. 2
The students have all moved out. The final exams have all been graded. Summer conference season is here. If you read part 1 of this post, hopefully you have already thought about the moment that you welcome each summer program participants to campus. But what about the on-going stuff? What about the collections? Operationally, collecting ...
Summer Programs Pt. 1
The students have all moved out. The final exams have all been graded. You might expect that the campus would close down like a northeastern beach resort a few weeks after Labor Day. If you see only the academic side of campus life, it would be easy to believe that. However, from a recycling and ...
Earth Day
Editor’s note: Not quite sure what I was thinking asking someone as unorthodox as Roger to write an Earth Day blog post but here it goes. Earth Day is again upon us. For some it is the beginning of the annual migration of the groove band and hippie drum circle. It is comforting to see ...

They're coming. Are you ready? Pt. 2
The class of 2015 is almost upon us (the year in which the entering 1st year college class will graduate with a traditional four year degree). In part 1 of this post, I talked about how much the world has changed. I urged readers to think about their recycling programs and to update them ...
Are you "green" but unseen?
In my “better aesthetics = better results” post I discussed the operational benefits of using a properly-designed, high-aesthetic recycling bin. For many programs, there is another equally-valuable role that these bins play in the marketing of your broader sustainability effort. Because people cannot see most aspects of your sustainability program, believing your sustainability promotion takes ...
