RecycleBama at UA to Raise Environmental Awareness in September

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — RecycleBama, a subcommittee of the Student Government Association at The University of Alabama, will kick off a month-long environmental campaign with a campus cleanup event beginning at 3 p.m. Friday, Sept. 12, in front of the Ridgecrest South residential complex on campus.

The Sustainable September campaign is being conducted in partnership with the UA Environmental Council, Creative Campus and Honors College Assembly to promote ways students can make a difference in creating a more environmentally responsible campus.

The next event will feature visual art and exhibits from the UA Recycling Center on display from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 16 near Gorgas Library in the northwest corner of the quad. Other events throughout the month will include an environmental film screening, a scavenger hunt and a photo contest with prizes. As part of the campaign, eco facts will also be chalked across campus to raise awareness.
