CU’s student leadership wants to make three buildings on campus zero-waste in five years: the UMC, the rec. center and Wardenburg.
To maintain a zero-waste standard, the three buildings will have to divert 90 percent — or 412,600 pounds — of their waste from landfills. Paper towel composting, further reduction of Styrofoam and sustainability training for employees are part of the legislation’s suggestions for reaching this goal.
