BC Green, previously awarded the Certificate of
Recognition by The National Wildlife Federation,
continued its recycling efforts in 2002. The group
expanded what it is able to collect for recycling and
added more people to its growing list of those who now
recycle paper, cardboard, aluminum, tin, and computer
ink and toner cartridges, according to Dr. John Nelson,
Associate Professor of Biology and faculty sponsor of BC
Green.Currently, BC Green recycling efforts continue
throughout the year and many students, administrators,
and faculty take part in the programs by putting their
waste paper in BC Green bins rather than waste cans. Dr.
Nelson credits a small group of current and former
Bethel students; Jason Banks, Burt Brooks, Philip
Johnson, Alycia Kelly, and Jason Stang, for being the
driving force behind the creation and success of BC
Green.
During the fall semester of 2002, the group collected
11,504 pounds of material (or 5.75 tons) for recycling.
The recycled materials included 5,260 pounds of paper,
6,000 pounds of cardboard, 120 pounds of aluminum, and
232 pounds of tin.
The money earned through the recycling efforts of BC
Green is split evenly with half of the proceeds going to
the Nature Conservancy of Tennessee and half to pay for
BC Green expenses, primarily buying additional
collection bins. BC Green is just another example of how
Bethel College serves the entire community and beyond.
BC Green is hoping to expand its efforts by working
with churches and schools in the area to set up ink and
toner cartridge recycling programs that can be
fundraising activities. If your group is interested,
please call Dr. John Nelson at 731-352-4073. |
