Thank you for supporting the Be Spartan Green initiative! Good luck in competition, and know that Michigan State University is proud to be the 2017 host site of Odyssey of the Mind.

Michigan State University welcomes all students participating in 2017 Odyssey

of the Mind competition. As a resident on campus you are now part of MSU’s Be Spartan Green initiative.

We challenge you to lessen your impact on the environment and the campus by taking some simple steps that will keep Michigan State University clean and green.

Here is how you can help Be Spartan Green at MSU:

Reduce/Reuse – Reduce your environmental footprint whenever possible, by using materials, water and energy wisely. Bring a refillable water bottle and refill at our hydration stations rather than purchasing bottled water. Turn off the lights when you leave a room. Turn the water off while brushing your teeth.

Recycle –The MSU Recycling and Surplus Center allows our campus to divert over 60% of our waste from landfill. When taking apart your props please be mindful and put it in the appropriate recycling bins.

It is your responsibility to put material into the recycling containers. MSU recycles the following material:

Office paper • Mixed paper/boxboard, cardboard, newspaper • All plastics including items such as plastic grocery bags, shrink wrap, bubble wrap, etc. • Glass • Cloth •
