Members of the Zero Waste Team analyzed the main buildings in each of the three central quads. Locations of current 3-bins were noted as well as areas where more were needed. The plan is to transition away from single flow trash and recycling bins towards a system where only 3-bins are used in main hallways. This will ensure that there are well marked bins in highly visible areas and will condense the many bins that need to be serviced by university workers into fewer overall bins. Overall this initiative will lead to improved waste management efficiency and increased recycling rates across the campus.

Help document bird collisions with windows

Millions of birds die annually from striking buildings, a global conservation issue. The U. of I. bird strike survey aims to document and prevent bird strikes. If you're a student, staff or faculty member at U. of I. interested in documenting strikes, contact jmokeefe@illinois.edu or vandoren@illinois.edu. We'll provide a phone-based app and protocol. Learn about the student-led effort here.
