Temple's Give and Go Green program gives students who are packing to leave residence halls a convenient way to donate clothing and food they might otherwise discard. Collection bins have been full to overflowing with items for Philabundance, Goodwill and other local nonprofits. Temple hopes to divert 15,000 pounds from the waste stream this year. "It would be OK with me if the number went down, though," said Jim Poole of University Housing and Residential Life. "That would mean that people were shopping smarter and consuming less."
