Record-Breaking Recycling!

I still am unsure of the results for the Game Day Challenge that I blogged about a few days ago (if anyone finds out, please comment on this and let me know!), but I wanted to say that UT recycling collected 12.54 tons of recycling last Saturday! This amount is an all-time record for the University of Tennessee, according to the UT Make Orange Green Facebook page (I still think you should "like" it if you haven't already). I don't know if 12.54 tons is enough for us to win the challenge, but the fact that we recycled that much is awesome whether we win or lose. It is so exciting to see the changes that are being made. Rather than a loss of interest, it seems that recycling is gaining momentum with students, alumni, and other football-lovers. Let's keep it up!
