This year's competition runs from January 18, 2009 through March 28, 2009. Help the College finish even better that last year when we finished in the Top 10 National Finish at #9 in waste minimization for whole campuses. Tips To Remember Many things are recyclable but we continue to see lots of paper & plastic bottles mixed in the trash. Please take the time to place these items in the recycling containers. It is easier this year because we can commingle paper, plastic etc into the same container. See this list of what can & can not be recycled. Thank you in advance for your participation in this years event. |

Energy Tip of the Week EU May Ban Plasma TVs By Megan Treacy The European Union is continuing on its quest to slash home energy use. Months after it announced a ban on incandescent bulbs starting in 2010, the EU is now set to effectively ban large plasma TVs. The countries are close to agreeing upon new energy performance standards for TVs that large plasma displays will not meet. Plasma models typically use about 50 percent more energy than LCD models. The new standards, which will go into effect this spring, will pull the least efficient TVs from shelves and start a labeling system that ranks the efficiency of the remaining models. While the U.S. as a whole won't be adopting similar standards anytime soon, California might. The California Energy Commission has proposed state standards that would require TVs to use 50 percent less energy by 2013. The California proposal is more strict than the EU standards. If the state does adopt the new standards, it could save 600 MW in energy use. |
