This is a post of an article in the Saturday, February 28th Stevens Point Buyers Guide www.spcitytimes.com . It states "The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point has been named one of 17 "amazing green college campuses" in the country. The list, which is compiled by the environment e-magazine Mother Nature Network, credits the school's waste Education Center as having helped the campus recycle 515 tons of material in 2014."
It also goes on to mention the waste-water treatment plant, a green roof, solar hot water panels (I've learned that the proper label is "Modules" for an individual collector and that several modules form an "Array"), rain gardens and a local campus garden that provides over 150 pounds of food to local food pantries.
It ends with saying that California, Illinois and some campuses on the East Coast also made the list and that UWSP was the only campus in Wisconsin to make the list.
Congratulations UWSP!
