A new year!

It's the start of a new year, and MCC Recycle is looking forward to helping MCC become a more sustainable campus. How? Here's a list of things for January 2010.

• On January 13, there will be a special eco-event for employees...details will be available later this week, but here's a preview: FREE STUFF!
• On January 15, our campus Climate Action Plan is due. This plan is part of the progress we anticipate as a signatory to the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (http://www.presidentsclimatecommitment.org/). As soon as we post the Plan on the website, we'll let you know the link. You will be able to see exactly what MCC hopes to accomplish over the next 10 years or so with regard to greening the campus.
• We are currently recruiting volunteers to participate in a recycling event at the PF Chang Marathon on January 17. Details are posted on the Facebook Event page for MCC Recycle. You can also email recycle@mcmail.maricopa.edu if you would like more info.
• January 18th is MLK Day, and MCC celebrates with a Day of Service. This event brings together our campus and surrounding community to teach, learn, and share about the wonderful benefits of service and volunteer work. More details on that event will be posted when they become available.
• The new semester starts January 16, and with that comes an opportunity for clubs to recruit new members. Make sure to join the MCC Environmental Action Club. If your schedule doesn't allow you to participate regularly, consider supporting the club by purchasing one of many t-shirts they offer, and get on the email list to take part whenever you can.
