The Southwestern College Green Team celebrated America Recycles Day and began a new tradition. America Recycles Day is an annual event hosted by the College & University Recycling Coalition and takes place every November 15. To celebrate America Recycles Day 2011, Green Team Southwestern hosted a recycling competition pitting campus organizations against one another in attempts to collect the most recycling over a 2-week period.This year, four Southwestern organizations participated in America Recycles Day including Leadership, Tri-Beta, Phi Delta Theta, and Phi Beta Lambda. Large boxes were setup on the campus lawn and the organizations filled them with recycling throughout the day on November 15. The organization producing the most recycling (volume) was declared the winner. Tri-Beta was crowned SC Recycling Champion for 2011 and over 600 pounds of recycling was collected. Tri-Beta will receive a plaque made from recycled sunflowers to display until the 2012 America Recycles Day competition.
