- Dusk in the Village Goes Green
This year residents of Sutherland and Golf Range Apartments were given an unusual request for the annual spring picnic. In their monthly newsletter residents were asked to BYOP or “Bring Your Own Plate.” In an effort to reduce waste and increase environmental awareness, the staff and residence associations of Sutherland and Golf Range Apartments asked residents to use reusable plates at the event. The UT Recycling program provided compost and recycling bins to further reduce waste creation.
