WasteCap Nebraska noted that UNMC and Nebraska Medicine facilities used energy savings dollars to purchase 675 new recycling containers in November 2013, and that recycling increased 41 percent in the first four months the bins were placed around campus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLiveGreen has accomplished a lot in the past year,\u201d said Melanie Stewart, UNMC sustainability manager. <\/p>\n<p>Projects that were part of the award recognition include Earth Week activities, the Re-Use It contest, battery recycling, writing utensil recycling, the Little Free Library, UNMC\u2019s Tree Campus USA certification and informative LiveGreen Scene presentations held throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of our actions have led to an increased awareness of sustainability, more items being diverted away from the landfill, a reduced use of natural resources, and a cleaner local environment,\u201d Stewart said.<\/p>\n<p>Stewart noted that the combining of UNMC\u2019s and Nebraska Medicine\u2019s \u201cgreen teams\u201d had been a huge success and commended the LiveGreen committee and volunteers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe simple actions that everyone on campus has taken, such as recycling and curtailing energy use, has made the biggest impact, of course,\u201d Stewart said.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LiveGreen is noted as Green Team of the Year by
