Loyola Marymount University boasts a strong reputation as a "green school," consistently winning awards for their initiatives in recycling, energy conservation, and LEED certifications. The composting program on campus, however, is often overlooked -- even by students. LMU senior AnaMichele describes her experience with LMU's residence hall composting program, including the challenges she faces as a student with a desire to make an impact.

Composting Challenges: A LMU Student Perspective

At The Lair - Scenes of LMU

I heard rumors of a composting program on Loyola Marymount University's campus, but never was sure if it really existed. So I decided to investigate.

These cute robots have already made a cultural impact among the student body, but the school has faced challenges to getting more students to use the service. Alyssa Bobich has the story.
