The campus recycling program succeeds because it makes the correct choice the easy choice. Students separate their waste at large stations placed outside every dormitory, with clear pictures showing where each material belongs. Paper and cardboard go into the blue container, while bottles and cans are collected in the green one nearby. Food scraps from the dining halls are not thrown away; workers send them to a local farm, where they become compost that enriches the soil. Twice each semester, volunteers organize a clothing exchange, and unclaimed items are donated to a city shelter. At the end of each term, the library also runs a textbook swap, where students trade used books instead of buying new ones. Broken electronics are gathered separately in gray boxes and sent to a specialist company, never into the ordinary trash. These simple habits reduce the amount of trash the university sends to the landfill by almost forty percent each year.
