Communiversity’s Recycling Effort Shows That Consolidation Will Work

To the Editor:

I am writing to thank all of those responsible for the first ever recycling effort at Communiversity. With the cooperation of The Arts Council, Sustainable Princeton, Woodrow Wilson School students, The Mercer County Improvement Authority, the Public Works Departments of the Borough and the Township, and many others, we were collectively able to recycle approximately 920 pounds of material that otherwise would have gone to the local landfill. This effort has demonstrated that we are a community and we can work together. Consolidation will work! And, it further demonstrates that we care about and can act on sustainable issues. My hat is off to everyone who made this happen. Thank you! As the event helper’s T-shirts said, “Change a Habit, Change the World”. Let’s do it together and let’s do it again next year. Thank you one and all.
