What did other campuses implement?
Green movements are rapidly becoming a part of almost every college,university and even high school campuses. The issue of plastic bottle usage is a serious one due to the low percentage of recycling that takes place. Already many campuses have solved completely or partially the problem. The "Colegio Franklin Delano Roosevelt" in Lima has started a campaign by installing water refill stations around the campus and encouraged the students to use reusable bottles (for more info [|click me]). A more"shining" example is the one of Brandeis University where the project for reducing plastic bottle use for water has started in the fall of 2008 and currently they have significantly reduced plastic bottled water usage not only by students but also from the local community.

Source Google __**Washington University**__ Other colleges have banned plastic use too, such as Washington Universtity, in St Luis. Faculty, staff, students and guests are encouraged to drink tap water and use reusable water containers. To educate students about the environmental impact of bottled water and to promote tap water, approximately 20 students heavily involved in the “Tap it” campaign held tap-water-vs.-bottled-water taste tests and placed signs and table tents throughout campus.
