This year’s RecycleMania competition kicks off Sunday, February 2, 2020. RecycleMania is a friendly recycling competition that takes place nationwide and serves as a benchmarking tool for measuring and improving efforts in waste reduction. Nova Southeastern University is one of more than 300 colleges and universities competing.

The Office of Facilities Management and “Green Sharks” Sustainability Club want to remind you that recycling bins are located all over campus, so let’s work on filling them up! Plus, there will be many fun events taking place during the eight weeks of competition to help with recycling efforts. See below for a calendar of events.

Although the competition runs from February 2 – March 28, NSU’s goal is to set the standard for stewardship of our precious natural resources. Recycling is one of the paths to this success.

Boom Bust Boom: A Story about Copper, the metal that runs the world
Author Bill Carter, writes from “a first-rate writer in the fascinating tradition of Junger and Krakauer” (Jim Harrison, author of Legends of the Fall), a sweeping account of civilization’s complete dependence on copper and what it all means for people, nature, and the global economy.

Q & A to follow moderated by Gary P. Gershman, J.D., Ph.D, NSU College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences

COPPER is a miraculous and contradictory metal, essential to nearly every human enterprise. For most of recorded history, this remarkably pliable and sturdy substance has proven invaluable: not only did the ancient Romans build their empire on mining copper but Christopher Columbus protected his ships from rot by lining their hulls with it. Today, the metal can be found in every house, car, airplane, cell phone, computer, and home appliance the world over, including in all the new, so-called green technologies.

Yet the history of copper extraction and our present relationship with the metal are fraught with profound difficulties. Copper mining causes irrevocable damage to the Earth, releasing arsenic, cyanide, sulfuric acid, and other deadly pollutants into the air and water. And the mines themselves have significant effects on the economies and wellbeing of the communities where they are located.

His book “A Different Way to Win: Dan Rooney’s Story from the Super Bowl to the Rooney Rule” details his father’s long and successful career in sports, business and philanthropy as told through stories of those who worked alongside him. Released in November 2019, the book quickly became an Amazon Best Seller and was selected by President Obama to be one of 38 on his 2019 Favorite Book List.
