MCC Sustainability Efforts
Recyclemania Continues Across Campus
Recyclemania Continues Across Campus
Thanks for your overwhelming support for the MCC Book Recycling Day!
The book recycle drive this week was extremely successful, with Baptist Student Ministry and Phi Theta Kappa students and advisors picking up over 25 boxes of books to send to Better World Books (BWB) who will then send them to needy students across the United States and the world. Additionally, the book collection team recycled 6 boxes of books that will count towards our Recyclemania numbers and donated three boxes of novels and paperback books to the Hewitt Public Library. Again, thanks for your support of this effort in cleaning out the campus through a sustainable effort that will benefit many in our community and beyond.
You can continue to donate your surplus and/or unused books by placing them in the collection boxes marked “Better World Books,” located in most buildings on campus. BSM and PTK check on these boxes periodically. If you need a box in your building, please contact Claudette Jackson, our Student Activities Coordinator, at 8443.
Reminder
EcoTour of the new Michaelis Academic Building (MAC) and the Emergency Services Education Center (ESEC) on March 24:
There is still room for anyone interested in joining Sid Ross as he leads a tour of the two new buildings on campus on March 24 from 2 to 4 PM. Unlike previous tours, Sid will focus on the sustainability aspects of the buildings that have led to our high LEED certifications. These include:
At the MAC building: dual-flush toilets, motion sensors, CO2 monitors, clearstory glass, sun blockers at windows, Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)-free building materials, etc.
At the Emergency Services Education Center (ESEC): concrete paving, full cutout light parking lot lights, geothermal HVAC system, photovoltaic panel arrays, reflective roofing, rainwater capture system, and xeriscape landscaping.
Come and see what makes these buildings unique and how MCC is working to be a model for sustainability in Waco and McLennan County. Please RSVP to either Fred Hills (fhills), Theresa Sparks (tsparks) or Bill Matta (wmatta) by March 21 so we can arrange transportation.
