    ☀️ One last month of summer composting before the nest fills back up! July brought 22,199 lbs of composted food waste across campus. Thanks to everyone helping keep Rice green year-round. We can't wait to welcome our Owls back and get the fall semester started! 🦉♻️💚
    Green graphic titled "Keeping You Composted." Text reads "July 2026" and "22,199 lbs composted campus wide." Decorative stars, dashed border, and illustrations of compostable food scraps including a banana peel, apple core, and eggshells.

    Small moves, big impact. 💚 During summer move-out, Owls donated 1,885 pounds of durable goods for reuse. Together, we're keeping usable items out of the landfill and supporting a more circular campus community. ♻️🦉
    Graphic stating, “Owls donated 1,885 lbs of durable goods during summer move-out.” Background shows a campus archway with a large yellow collection bin filled with donated items and a clothing donation bin nearby.
    Graphic comparing 1,885 pounds of donated goods to approximately 1.5 large cows, 10 couches, or 4 adult male grizzly bears. Includes illustrations of cows, couches, and bears with comparison labels.

    The future of sustainability is bright. 💚🌎 We were honored to host HISD students participating in the CES Summer Program and share a glimpse of sustainability in action at Rice. Thank you, CES, for the opportunity to connect with the next generation of changemakers.
