-Our Plans and Ideas for this semester:
*Green Halloween
IDEAS
*Foods thrown out at the dining halls, we should try to do something to reduce our wasting of food.
Putting out less food, so the leftover can be re-served
*COMPOSTING (we are serious about this)
Haverford is in a diff township, so different rules apply for compost but the Bi-Co dining halls is a conjoint.
*Styrofoam takeout boxes
–> Biodegradable ones could replace them?
–> promotion of the use of Tupperware.
–>Limiting the amount of takeouts you can take per semester
–>Giving incoming class container
–>library book method
By the way: Battenhouse is the Environmental House on campus, they have delicious meals, for 6.15, very cool place to go!
*Paper napkins
–>Recycled paper napkins (?)
*Automatic flush toilets = water waste
automatic sinks instead?
what can be done about this?
*windows for heat insulation
*Lightbulb auditing (count, type)
*Bike Share –> BiCo Bike share, was going on last year, need to communicate with Melanie
*clothing swap?
*Coordinating a E-forum, on general education on env issues
*Organic, US made environmentally friendly friendly BMC shirts options at the bookstore
++ We want to do a field trip this semester
