Trash bins, recycling bins, and paper bins are found everywhere on campus to promote green habits. Outside of Havemeyer, a row of bins. Outside of Uris, a row of bins. Outside of Dodge a row of bins. Someone must be using all the bins but are all students taking the steps to be more green? CTV News spoke with students from different areas of the spectrum about the matter.

"Every once and a while I'll see a flyer or I'll see EcoReps people either in Lerner or somewhere or I'll get an e-mail but I can see that they are going out of their way to promote it but I don't feel like there is that much participation among actual resident," explained Brendon Cline, Co-Founder of GreenBorough.

GreenBorough is a special interest community located on 604 W 114th. What is so unique about GreenBorough is the eclectic use of materials throughout the house and the sustainability of residents activites. Most of the walls are decorated by materials that were previously found on the street.

"People have interests like in environmental science and animals and things like that. Recycled furniture, some free-gan artwork everywhere. It's a cool eclectic mix that just things that people are interested in."

There are varying degrees between everyone on campus. There green attitudes are completely embraced by everyone but students try when they can to make a difference. For CTV News, I'm Jose Ricardo Moreno.
