College’s Green Move Out is featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer
The efforts of Lafayette students, staff, and faculty working as part of the College’s Green Move Out were highlighted in an article in today’s Philadelphia Inquirer. More than 5,000 pounds of unopened food, clothing, personal and household items, and furniture were collected on campus and donated to various local organizations to minimize waste.

An excerpt follows:
Lafayette sent 300 pounds of towels and cleaning products to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Another 2,760 pounds of clothing, 2,076 pounds of food, 175 pounds of books, and 90 pounds of coats went to other organizations.
“I was just blown away by the amount of unopened food we were collecting and clothing that was brand new or gently worn,” said Laura Bochner, 20, a geology major from Bethlehem who helped with the Lafayette project.
