Penn Business Services created PennMOVES three years ago in order to make Penn more sustainable by reducing student waste and providing a charitable contribution to the West Philadelphia community.

The University has implemented new initiatives to “greenify” the Relays, which began Thursday and are continuing today and Saturday. Brochures and programs will use recyclable paper, and recycling bins have been placed in Franklin Field and in the Village and Concourse adjoining the stadium.

Penn is one of the most sustainable universities, according to The Princeton Review’s Guide to 286 Green Colleges and to the final results of its 2009-2010 College and University Green Power Challenge.

The results for the 10-week Recycle Mania competition to enhance sustainable activities were released. The competing schools were judged on who could collect the largest amount of total recyclables, the least amount of trash per capita and have the highest recycling rate.

The projects include green renovations to Addams Hall and Psi Upsilon (Castle) fraternity, energy measuring meter installations at the New Bolton Center and reduction of the carbon footprint at the Morris Arboretum.

The facility’s purpose is to provide better biosecurity and isolation for horses with infectious diseases.

These cards will allow them to receive a free meal at the Shops at 1920 Commons and at Houston Market for every four meals they purchase there. A meal is allocated as the purchase of items that are valued above $7.

The initiative’s overall goal is to collect a million pens in order to donate $20,000 to the Green Fund.

Three teams of Penn students competed in a three-hour cook-off as a part of Penn's first ever Top Chef competition.

For the first time since their construction 40 years ago, Sansom Place East and Sansom Place West will begin to undergo major renovations this summer.
