Bottelberghe said she thinks increasing recycling on campus will make waste management more efficient. “I think that having all the students on campus recycling and kind of making that the new norm will have a huge impact on the amount of waste that USU puts out,” Bottelberghe said. Lamm said recycling on campus is a con- servation issue as it saves space in landfills, but it is also a financial issue. She said alu- minum and white paper can be sold, and the school has to pay a fee to put anything in the landfill. “So we’re kind of taking a double hit,” Lamm said. Simmons said recycling is a small thing everyone can do to make an impact. “It’s an easy way that we can kind of make a little difference or at least feel like we’re making a difference, not only for the university but just for the well-being of our community,” Simmons said. “And I think if we are responsible enough to go out and buy waste, we should be responsible enough to dispose of it the right way.” Annie Hall photo — [email protected] Thursday, Oct. 30, 2014 CampusNews Page 3 New play rolls through weekend 4By Melanie changed from its original style, the Fenstermaker costumes and mannerisms of the staff writer characters still reflect the time period.
