Continuing in The Future

I have really enjoyed the experience of working with C-N Recycling. I have learned so much during my experience with them: they have given me a new prospective on how the world works and what I can do to help save it. I want to and hope to be able to continue to work with them in the future. Our mission isn't over yet, we still have a lot of work to do.

the accomplishments

Unfortunately we haven't been able to start the gardening project because it have been pushed back due to bad weather and there no timetable on when we'll be able to start it. We haven't been discouraged, there has been great outcomes regardless. We now have the Traffic Light Nutrition Guide, which has given students a chance to eat healthier and help the environment by choosing substances that can help alleviate some of the harm that our food does to the environment. We are making huge progress, green week was a huge success. The student participated in ever event of each day; the thing about it was that it seemed that the student enjoyed taking part of the event. We are happy with the accomplishments we have right now but we can't be satisfied with this success. We will continue to think of ways that will better and more efficient in spreading environmental awareness.

The Solution to Help The Recycling

Me and Anna has been brain storming trying to decide what will be the best forms of action to get our message out and improve the recycling problem. We decided to that I would write a letter to the university's president O'Brien asking him to invest a little of his resources into better and more efficient recycling bins. With these new bins, we believe that the faculty and students will be more inclined to use the bins.

The Recycling concerns on Carson-Newman Univerisity Campus

I was able to meet Anna Grace and was ecstatic when she found out that an athlete was volunteering with the organization. She told me how they have been struggling to convince the maintenance to throw the things that can be recycled into the recycling bins. The maintenance crew has not been the only problem: students rarely use the bins because the bins are placed in spots that not visible and students don't have enough excess. She believe that if the people in charge and students see an athlete getting serious about the environment that it'll make an impact on their decisions.
