Getting a degree is important especially in this economy. College campuses everywhere are using paper and throwing it away. Unless a campus has is known for being environmantally friendly they just don't deem to care. All college campuses have recycling bins of course but not all of them use them as much as they should. I know Nescom doesn't and Nescom goes through a lot of paper, especially those in the journalism program. Using a lot of paper is essential when studying journalism but the least we could do is recycle it. When looking for a recycling bin in most if not all of the classrooms, its impossible. There is a trashcan so everyone throws the extra paper in the trash instead of recyling that paper. One thing our school is good about is recycling bottles and cans. There are boxes in most of the bathrooms and hallways for students to put there empties in. Nescom also has a paper schredder and a recycling bin in the business office so those are options for students considering the lack of recyclins bins elsewhere.

I mentioned before campuses that seem to be for the environment who do rececycle and yet litering seemes to be a huge issue. Why? if the school cares so much for the environment why is this such an issue and why don't they do anything about it? These questions to this day cannot actually be answered because no one knows. Not one person can change it, sure they can influence change but they can't actually change it. Its a group effort. Nescom and Husson don't have a major issue with litering but they do need a little help with recycling.
