The members of Student
Action For the Earth (SAFE) work to educate their peers, both on and off campus,
about sustaining and promoting environmental protection and awareness. Relying
heavily on public events and social interactions, SAFE strives to make the
campus of Lebanon Valley College “greener” in every aspect of college life.
One such
way that SAFE calls attention to sustaining our planet is through its Down N
Dirty project. This event was recently held on the weekend of April 3-5. Four
SAFE members, Maria Jeannette, Chase Ferrario, Amanda DeVilliers, & Heath
Lettich, suited up to find out how recycling conscious the students of LVC are.
Sorting through trash from the six traditional residence halls, the students
pulled out whatever recyclables they could find. Over the course of the
weekend, 12 full bags of recyclables were found mixed in with regular garbage.
