With our first $500 grant from the State of Minnesota we were able to purchase Energy Misers and more recycling stations to be used around campus. Success will be measured in lower electrical bills from the use of Energy Misers on the vending machines and by how much the recycling centers are utilized. Based on this trial, we will consider the purchase of additional Vending Machine Misers.
