Green Stream in the Washington Square News Today!!!

A Very, Very proud RA and Stream Leader!

The Green Stream & The 4th Floor (Green Floor at Goddard) are featured in the Washington Square News' Green Issue This week! Pick up your copy today!


On the Green Stream floor at Goddard residence hall, hall decorations such as a three-dimensional "Life of a Bottle" mural remind students to recycle every day.

"Strengthening our relationship with our shared planet through an action such as recycling is one of the most important phenomena of our college experiences," said Wagner graduate student Suhaly Bautista, the floor's resident assistant.

Stern freshman and Green Stream floor resident Katherine Corson thinks a good way to make recycling easier in dorms is to educate students about incorrect recycling.

"People recycle things, with good intention, that can't be recycled," she said.

Some students, for example, tend to recycle items that are actually biodegradable, like Weinstein dining trays that are made from recycled paper.
