Thanks to all who participated in Tire Amnesty Day
Elaine Alexander counted 67 MCC students, faculty and staff members who came out last Saturday in the cold to collect used tires. The initiative collected 1769 tires, far less than in the past, but the smaller total may signal that the number of tires needing recycling is dropping.
Lake Waco Clean-Up this Weekend
Keep Waco Beautiful, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the City of Waco are sponsoring the annual Lake Waco Clean-Up Day on Saturday, April 4th, 9 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., as part of the Keep America Beautiful’s Great American Clean-Up and the Texas Trash-Off. Volunteers are invited to check in at the pavilion at Twin Bridges Park at 8:30 am. Trash bags and trash tongs will be provided. Volunteers should bring gloves and wear long pants and closed-toe shoes.
A hotdog lunch will be served at the pavilion following the cleanup.

Did you know?
Our three new buildings on campus are equipped with a number of innovations that will cut water consumption by 20 to 45%. Among the innovations are the new double-flush toilets and water-miser faucets available in all three buildings, and the rainwater recovery system at the Emergency Services Education Center (ESEC). The double-flush toilets have two settings: flush up for liquid waste and flush down for solid waste. The instructions are on the wall, and the toilet handles are green to remind users of the options. The water-miser faucets work only on demand. Both will use far less water than our current fixtures, and the rainwater recovery system at the ESEC will add additional savings by using the collected water for toilets and landscaping.
