A senior at Beloit College is honored for their efforts to create a cleaner, more sustainable campus.

Beloit College Senior Syd Clark thanked the Beloit College facilities department, Waste Management for partnering on the project, their academic advisors, and the City of Beloit, nothing they have enjoyed their time in the city.

The Sustain Beloit Program, which was implemented in August, places the responsibility for trash and recycling on the individuals generating it.

Clark acquired startup funding through a $30,000 grant from the Green Loan Fund, a revolving sustainability fund that provides initial capital for campus projects, then allocates a portion of the savings back to the fund for future loans.
