LOUIS, MO (March 30, 2012) – Harris-Stowe State University will host its first energy fair on April 4, in the Emerson Performance Center from 1-4 p.m. The event, which is a collaborative effort among HSSU, AmerenUE, Waste Management, Fresh Ideas and Clean Tech, also promotes Recyclemania, a friendly competition among college and university recycling programs in North America and Canada. During eight weeks each spring, schools compete to reduce waste, increase recycling and raise awareness of conservation issues across campus. The fair is free and open to the public, and will showcase the recycling practices within companies such as Ameren Missouri, Blue Skies Recycling, the City of St. Louis Recycling Program, Fuller Sales, Laclede Gas Company, Midwest Recycling Company, Missouri Botanical Gardens, St. Louis Community College, St. Louis University, Midwest Waste Company and many others. “We are excited to bring this type of event to our students and to the St. Louis community,” said Benny Lewis, university campus sustainability chairperson. “It is our goal to raise awareness of the importance of conserving energy, while making a conscious effort to recycle such things as office paper, newspaper, plastic bottles, computers, and reduce the amount of trash going to landfills. Harris-Stowe State University, located in midtown St. Louis, is a four-year institution that offers 14 degree programs in the areas of Accounting, Business Administration, Biology, Criminal Justice, Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Health Care Management, Hospitality and Tourism Management, Information Sciences and Computer Technology, Mathematics, Middle School Education, Professional Interdisciplinary Studies, Secondary Education and Urban Affairs. Ranked by U.S. News as one of America’s Best Colleges in the Midwest, the university, which has been in existence for more than 150 years, offers the most affordable bachelor’s degree in the state of Missouri.
