Overall campus recycling increased by 52 percent. The project was the latest sustainability-oriented effort from the class ENST 302: Environmental Issues: Rice in the Future. Sid senior Kassaundra Escalera, sophomore Paige Bailey, junior Meghan Binford and Will Rice College sophomore Abby Banks-Golub chose to run the contest as part of their final project on recycling. The students focused on aluminum recycling because of its ability to be recycled infinitely, Escalera said.
