A handful of West Chester University students plan to attend the G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh this week, where finance ministers and central bank governors of the Summit plan to discuss the ongoing economic crisis. The G-20 is comprised of Heads of State and invitees of 19 countries representing North and South America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
West Chester University has "gone green" for close to 20 years, and the University recycling program has evolved a great deal. The evolvement was caused by an increase in awareness and excitement of recycling by the university community. According to a letter sent to students at the start of the program in February 2008, the program in the traditional residence halls on campus works with recycling program staff.
