College vs College Recycling Competition
From now till the end of term, every college will go head to head to compete for the ‘Golden Recycling Box’ trophy for the biggest proportion of waste recycled and to avoid the ignominy of the ‘Wooden Wheelie Bin’ for the worst result. There’s also a prize for most improved college. www.dur.ac.uk/environment/slag/goldenbox is full of posters, facts and statistics to arm yourself with to help tackle waste. Anyone can download and use these to help their college get to the top. Any questions? Contact Chris Bliss your Ecology rep.
Currently Trevs is joint 3rd place along with Hatfield, not far behind the leaders Hild Bede. So please make that little bit of effort to help Trevs win the trophy.
To show your support join the Facebook Group - 'Help Trevs Win the Golden Recycling Box Trophy'.”
