Carolina in the News

Check out the recent media mentions of sustainability-related programs, practices, and people at UNC:

Recycle and give back with aluminum cans
The Lake Norman News
...Empty aluminum cans can be deposited in one of the trailers behind each of the three Denver fire stations. The cans then are sold to a recycling center, with all proceeds supporting the Lincoln County Chapter of the North Carolina Firefighters Burned Children's Fund. ...One of the most noteworthy of the Burned Children's Fund's programs, Camp Celebrate, is operated in conjunction with the North Carolina Jaycees Burn Centers at the University of North Carolina Hospitals. Created in 1981, Camp Celebrate was the first camp in the United States devoted exclusively to pediatric burn survivors.
