Did you know UMBC is currently competing in RecycleMania...
Here's how we're doing...
Let's do better! Sort your waste. Reduce your consumption. Remember your reusable alternatives (reusable mugs, tote bags, and more). Compost. Recycle. Take some time to learn how to sort your waste and share this information with your network (your officemates, classmates, teammates, roommates etc.): http://my.umbc.edu/groups/sustainability/posts/66318

Off Campus Student Services, the Student Events Board (seb), and Peer Health Educators came together for a lunch and learn on Commons Mainstreet today. Awareness and action around recycling, carpooling, and sustainable transportation were featured during the event.

People shared their experiences in China, Iran, India, Liberia, Baltimore City, UMBC, Montgomery County and more.
The previous awareness dinner focused on UMBC's Climate Action efforts:
