Question of the week
One easy way that we can both save money and be environmentally friendly at MUSC is by replacing pager batteries with rechargeable batteries. The Cadmium, Nickel and other metals that they contain are toxic but CAN be recovered and recycled as opposed to regular AA’s that cannot be recycled. What are five other ways that we can reduce waste and reuse items while working at MUSC?

Look for the answer in the April 3 issue of The Catalyst.
