MM #2 Side 2: Recycling

Off-campus and on-campus students know varying amounts of information about recycling.

Kevin Murray, a junior and education major at MSU, lives in a house off-campus and does recycle.

“Our recycling bin is just in our backyard usually. We take it to the front yard when we want to recycle so it’s really easy,” Murray said.

Murray compared his off-campus experience recycling with his on-campus experience and said it is less work to recycle off-campus compared to the dorms because his recycling bin is in his backyard now while he had to walk all the way down the hall in the dorms.

Murray went on to say he thinks recycling is important, but he does not know the full impact not recycling has on the environment.

Caroline Dimas, a junior and education major at MSU, has had a moped on campus for three years and said one of the major benefits of having a moped on campus is it saves her a lot of time going to work and class. Since bikes and mopeds park at the bike racks at MSU, Dimas said, “it is definitely hard to find parking with the bikes and the mopeds; I feel like this year there are definitely a lot more mopeds, so it’s really hard to find parking.” Dimas said she feels safe riding her moped on-campus because there are lots of people watching out, but she does feel a little unsafe when riding her moped off-...
