Operation Green Lantern

Introduction

By initiating a recycling drive, in associate with ACC Recycling, we believe

that the St. Petersburg Campus of the University of South Florida and its

surrounding vicinity will become increasingly aware of the positive affects

set in motion by recycling. As a result, we anticipate that both the University

and the community adjacent to it will become further committed to the act of

recycling.

Through receiving donating recyclables, and supplying ACC Recycling with

the materials accumulated, we consider this operation to be a mutually

beneficial endeavor. The reasons being, that as we attain our group goals,

you and your services will also become increasingly well known.

Additionally, we will be supplying ACC Recycling with products that may

be profitable to you.

As a team, Green Lantern is committed to the proper execution of this

mission. Because we believe that with full recycling bins, everyone wins!
Mission

Our mission with this operation is to increase awareness of the students and

faculty on our St Pete campus the need for recycling in a fun and convenient

way. This effort will introduce your company to the thousands of students

and faculty members of USF and further extend into the many other

community activities they are involved in.

Goals

We plan to have a paper recycling competition on the USF St Pete Campus

at the end of this semester with prizes to the winning contributors. An end of

the semester drive will produce a large amount of recyclable paper for your

company while advertising your company’s services.

Request for ACC Recycling Company Support

Team Green Lantern of USF is requesting the support of ACC Recycling in

our campaign Operation Green Lantern. We hope to introduce to USF

students and faculty the services your company provides and the ease of

recycling paper products. By increasing awareness of what resources are

available in our community for sustainability efforts we can increase

community participation while increasing the recyclable paper intake for

your company.

We are asking ACC Recycling to support our efforts by providing recycling

bins for the competition, pick up of the recyclables collected and prizes for

the winners.

Our team will coordinate the drive with the campuses and provide the

advertising needed to make the drive a success.

Contact
After sending our proposal to ACC Recycling we contacted Margaret

Sullivan, the St. Petersburg campus Chancellor to discuss with her our ideas

for the paper recycling drive. We also contacted the heads of the Arts and

Science, Buisness, and Educations departments to get their support for the

project. The STG science technology building, and COQ Coquina Hall are

going to participate, and we have organized that pick up by ACC Recycling

of the paper products will be just outside the Coquina Hall.
