W.R.A.P. will affect SUNY Cortland in ways, such as making every single student aware of what is taking place in New York concerning the closures of landfills and the growing demand for alternatives in solving the nation's largest environmental problem -garbage. One alternative is already active on campus: recyclable paper bins. This is an effort to getSUCC students involved and aware of the problem. W.R.A.P. will affect the world by projects that are taking place all over this ruttion,mainJy bythe27NYPIRG organizations in the U.S. So the impact should be the first and foremost important step in increasing sensitivity of the nation ·s disposal crisis.
