Green Boards Launch

Supervisor of Grounds and Waste, Jim Galbraith and President, Dr. Amit Chakma showcase Physical Plant's new 'low-tech' communication tool.

The bulletin boards, aptly called the Green Boards, are being deployed on campus to bring greater awareness to Western's recycling program.

The President's Office recycling station is the location for the first board, while the remaining 80+ boards on campus will soon be adorned with similar postings.

In keeping the boards themselves sustainable, the postings are printed on FSC paper and will be reused/recycled through the UTOSS and recycling program.
