The competition lasts through March 27, which gives Austin Peay eight weeks to track the university’s recycling and composting weights. CR2ZW wants colleges across the U.S. and Canada to compete in a fair and friendly way, to benchmark their college’s efforts against other colleges and create support for recycling efforts on campus. Multiple competitions exist within the CR2ZW, such as electronics recycling, composting and case studies. Austin Peay will compete in the Per Capita Classic because recycling is already in place on campus. The University also will participate in the “Electronics Recycling” competition, which allows community involvement. The sustainability office will use social media to keep students and faculty informed of APSU’s progress, not only through this competition but in future years. An APSU sustainability outreach intern will update the Instagram page weekly and make sure information is continually posted.
