We now have the first three weeks of results, and FIU’s numbers seem to be slipping. Can FIU pick its game up to make a comeback in the weeks ahead?

Here are the results for week three:

Gorilla Prize – Highest gross tonnage of recyclables -2nd out of 11 Florida schools and 33rd out of 305 in the nation. Last week FIU was 2nd in the state.

Per Capita Classic – Cumulative recyclables in pounds per person – 3rd out of 11 Florida schools and 115th out of 305 in the nation. Last week FIU was 3rd in the state.

Grand Champion – percentage of waste stream recycled – 3rd out of 10 Florida schools and 115th out of 243 in the nation. Last week FIU was 1st in the state.

FIU has recycled 152,840 pounds in the first three weeks of the competition. Please do your part to help FIU make it to the top of the charts among the Florida schools by recycling all you can while on any of the FIU campuses.
