Greetings Green ITers! April’s last week continues to celebrate Earth Day, Earth Week and yes Earth Month! Here’s the latest:
Recycling for electronics and document shredding services that were offered by Emory Recycles throughout the month of April were a huge success. Go to BriarcliffRecycling for more info!

Better World Book RePurposing: give your books a second life! Better World Books sells books online at their own site and donates the proceeds to Books for Africa, Invisible Children, Room to Read, the National Center for Family Literacy and the World Fund. Collection bins are at the Emory Recycling Center and the Dobbs University Center!
New and Ongoing efforts!
- The Water Reclamation project is on track (recycling grey water for landscape irrigation)
- Campus Services has put in an application to Georgia Power for 5 separate solar projects (it’s a lottery so we may get all, some or none approved)
- Emory is now investigating geothermal energy opportunities for heating and cooling our campus!
These are exciting times for sustainability and conservation at Emory!
