A gray and chilly April morning didn\u2019t deter Lizzy Conger from waving and shouting \u201cRecycle!\u201d to the passers-by, \u00a0costumed in her suit made of hundreds of plastic bags. She revved up the recycling mantra for Earth Day at Northwestern University\u2019s Evanston campus on Wednesday. Behind Conger loomed a pyramid of white plastic bags filled with used cardboards, half-eaten pizza and all the\u00a0junk a campus collects every day.
\n<\/p>\n

For the second year, Conger volunteered to play the \u201cplastic bag monster\u201d in front of Mt. Trashmore<\/a>, an annual Earth Day tradition installed at the university to raise awareness of campus waste. Along Sheridan Road, cars honked and students stopped as they passed by the 8-foot high pile of trash, collected over a period of six hours from the Technological Institute waste cans the day before and heading to a landfill afterward.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo see such a visible representation of ‘this is how I contribute to that mountain (of trash) every single day’ – I think, can be pretty enlightening for people,\u201d said Conger, a graduate student in chemical engineering at the McCormick School of Engineering.<\/p>\n

The first Mt. Trashmore popped up on campus on Earth Day in 2008. Members of Engineers for a Sustainable World\u2014an environmental student group that Conger belongs to\u2014suggested the idea to Julie Cahillane, the school\u2019s manager of sustainability and resource management. At the time, the university\u00a0was accumulating 10 tons of campus waste a day, Cahillane said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a crazy idea, and it just works,\u201d she said. \u201cSo we\u2019ve been doing it ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the years, the mountain has steadily shrunk, Cahillane said. This year, the campus generated 9.2 tons of trash every day and recycled 5 tons of materials, up from 4.3 tons last year. That puts Northwestern University in the middle range of schools across the country when it comes to recycling, she said.<\/p>\n

Reaching beyond that requires the university to tackle bigger recycling projects, Cahillane said. Unlike state schools, Northwestern doesn\u2019t have an office of surplus operations to manage the recycling of larger assets such used furniture. The school recently took a step in that direction by arranging for mattress suppliers to pick up old mattresses when they bring new ones to the dorms, she said, but more could be done.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout surplus operations, \u2026 you are going to lose a lot of stuff that you could be recycling,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Every day actions matter too. In front of Mt. Trashmore, student volunteers handed out refillable water bottles and reusable bags, and others joined them in raising awareness on sustainable habits. The university\u2019s Roosevelt Institute for Public Policy is hosting a No Impact Challenge<\/a> throughout the week, inviting students to track the number of disposable items they use daily.<\/p>\n

Also on Wednesday night, students from McCormick\u2019s environmental policy and culture program organized an Earth Day celebration<\/a> at the Technological Institute, featuring the wide range of environmental student groups on campus.<\/p>\n

Neal Blair, director of the program, said the event showcased diverse ways for people to relate to the environment\u2014not just through scientific studies but also through stories and songs, such as Earth Day anthems.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mantra is, no one owns the environment but everyone is a stakeholder,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The celebration also looked back at Northwestern University\u2019s roots in the nation\u2019s environmental movement. On January 23, 1970, three months before the first Earth Day, a student-organized public \u201cteach-out\u201d<\/a> attracted thousands of people to the Technological Institute to spend the night speaking out against environmental problems such as water pollution and overpopulation. Paul Ehrlich,\u00a0author of\u00a0The Population Bomb<\/em>, participated.<\/p>\n

During the celebration\u00a0Wednesday evening, students sang \u201cWhose Garden Was This?,\u201d a song composed by folk singer Tom Paxton for the Northwestern \u201cteach-out.\u201d That song became an anthem for the first Earth Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great way to show off Northwestern University\u2019s rich history with Earth Day, and how it began,\u201d said Conger,\u00a0 who participated in the performance.<\/p>\n
