In recent years, IC Eco-Reps was forced to scale back as reduced funding and staff cutbacks left the program without staff to advocate for the students.
This will be the college’s 12th year participating in Recyclemania, a competition encouraging schools to reduce waste on their campuses.
The IC Eco-Reps are partnering with the Tompkins County Solid Waste Management Division to unveil a new composting site at the Ithaca College Circle Apartments, where there currently exists no composting program.
See a tour of the composting facility at Cayuga Compost, and learn more about what happens to garbage after you throw it out.
Students, faculty and members of the Ithaca community came together for “The Big Talk,” to discuss ways to integrate sustainability practices into the classroom.
