Jason Barnett who is  Vice President for Finance and Operations at ASMSU said that most feedback they received from passengers and drivers are very positive. According research conduct by ASMSU,  most students feel safe when they are walking on campus but feel less safe when they walk off campus, ASMSU believe that the safe ride program will offer service for students who are working late or need a ride from friend's house a free, safe experience. Student Selma Kijamet has used the service for two times now and she is very satisfied with experience so far. 

ASMSU finally launched the  safe ride  program after four years of preparation. This pilot program will run six weeks, from 10 PM to 3 AM Sunday to Wednesday. MSU students can use this program via an app called TransLoc or call (517)-884-8069 for taxi service. The service will be free and easy to access for students. Program will run until the end of spring semester, and will continue if students vote yes on tax funding on safe ride program. So far the program has received mostly positive feedback from both drivers and passengers.

MSU education coordinator James Ives talks about recycling program around MSU- turns out we have recycling bins in every floors at every building around campus! And you might notice on your way to your class at high traffic classroom like Wells Hall , there are recycling bins right outside the classroom! MSU also have programs to educated students on how to recycle. Many residential building like Yakeley Hall have their own recycling center inside the hall, says Residential Aide Alex Hyatt. However there are still some students to lazy to separate recycling stuff from the trash.

Turns out millennials is not that interested in recycling.  According to a study conducted by  American Psychological Association(yes, recycling is actually a psychological thing) , millennials are much less likely to recycle as previous generations do. MSU( "Go Green!") is a huge campus filled with tens of thousands of millennials, are they recycling properly? We will find out the answer in the following video, features MSU outreach and education coordinator James Ives and student/RA at Yakeley Hall Alex Hyatt.
