Recyclemania 2008

Every spring there is a national program known as Recyclemania, which encourages campuses to recycle more and publishes information about who is doing what.

UW Oshkosh participated in RecyleMania 2008, and came out on top in Wisconsin!

RecycleMania is a national competition from January 27 to April 5. Participating campuses across the country try to recycle as much as possible over the 10 week period. During the competition, UW Oshkosh recycled 22.68 pounds of garbage per person on campus (students, staff, and faculty). This put us in the top 25% in the country, and the number one university in Wisconsin.

Bike and Pedestrian Survey

The City of Oshkosh is updating its Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation Plan and they are looking for public input from people who live, work, study, or recreate in Oshkosh. They have developed a website that has links to an online survey:

pedestrian_bicycle_plan

Even if you do not currently use a bike or walk to campus, completing the survey will help the city learn why you do not, or how they might improve city infrastructure.

Most of us use city facilities every day: sidewalks along streets carrying automobiles through campus are built by the city, to their current standards. The last public meeting was in August, so student and staff input was not representative of UW Oshkosh pedestrians and bicyclists. So please consider giving the city some feedback from the campus community.
