[PEOPLE PLACES WHATNOT] I I University Eco-Briefs The University consumes approximately: ?400 million gallons of water annually ?149 million Kwhrs of electricity annually The University generates 3,100 tons of waste annually. The majority of which is landfilled costing the University more than $150,000. Construction and demolition debris account for nearly 35 percent of all waste in the United States. USC employed an environmentally responsible contractor that recycled 68 percent of the debris from the demolition of University Terrace Apartments. The University has been testing an alternative fuel vehicle since 1992. Ultimately, more alternative fuel vehicles will be incorporated into the fleet of374 cars, trucks and vans. In the summer of 1994, the University hired a full-time Recycling Coordinator and officially started the University of South Carolina Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling. The University recycling program, Recycle 2000, recycles mixed pa- s per,white newspaper, newspaper, aluminum cans, cardboard and greenbar computer paper.

On-campus services such as Housing and Residential Services and RHA have invested heavily in the Recyv *' cle 2000 project by purchasing a re^ cycling bin for every residence hall ' campus-wide. . Faculty departments have also shown support by punchasing Recycle 2000 containers for , their departments. In all, 110 departments now own a recy cling bin. V These efforts have given rise - to several important steps as USC looks to become more ecodemic. For example, Thomas and some of his associates generated W one of the first environmental auW dits last year. The 35-page document concentrated on five areas of ' concern. Thomas said that the audit ^F to be conducted by the task force will be W- more comprehensive and give better r analysis as to where the university can improve. work With these improvements, the unind-the versity can approach other problems with more of a business perspective as hose do Thomas and his associates, people "We're looking for less resources to ment. get more done."
