Centenary goes green

Centenary students received  recycle bins at their campus residences today. The next step in their 2010 Energy Challenge. 

The challenge seeks to reduce the college's carbon foot print. Since January, the students have spearheaded this cause urging the campus to turn off lights and to try trayless dining

They recycle bins will be placed behind James and Rotary Halls.

“The campus recycling project is a continuum of the campus ‘Go Green’ energy challenge,” said Andra Armstrong, James Hall Council Vice President and RHA housing committee. “Centenary is very caring of its community and this proposal will benefit the Shreveport/Bossier community as well as help to keep Centenary's campus and surrounding environment clean.” 

With the recycle bins in place, the campus hopes to be able to recycle mixed paper, cardboard, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, magazines, telephone books, catalogs, steel food cans, mail, etc.
