I will pass along this question to them and post their response when it comes in.<br /><br />The Environmental Committee will be tabling for Earth Day outside of the Coop tomorrow, Sunday, April 19th, from 9am-3pm. Representatives from our sister committees including Recycling will be on hand as well, so feel free to swing by and ask them in person tomorrow, too!Maura Smalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05036474907206804913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35398230.post-12262798497333187502009-04-16T23:16:00.000-05:002009-04-16T23:16:00.000-05:00Hey eco peeps,

I've been thinking of making a photo essay of how many garbage bags full of this stuff we'll acquire before having an outlet to recycle it! Ha. Hopefully it won't come to that. I believe we can do better!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975505944841576542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35398230.post-79258011586657076412009-02-22T18:15:00.000-05:002009-02-22T18:15:00.000-05:00Hi Franklin, thanks for your comment -- we (the En...Hi Franklin, thanks for your comment -- we (the Environmental Committee) will pass it on to the Recycling Committee. I'm sure that once the Recycling Committee has had a chance to publish new flyers the guideline will be clearer. And I'll suggest taking photos too -- if we get some we'd be happy to post them on our blog (from readers, too, so please feel free to send any along if you have them!).Maura Smalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05036474907206804913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35398230.post-61254090525243998012009-02-22T17:37:00.000-05:002009-02-22T17:37:00.000-05:00The criteria for acceptable film should be expande...The criteria for acceptable film should be expanded and made more specific.<BR/><BR/>"Minimal" writing is too open to interpretation. From my experience last week, the standard appears to be closer to "no writing" than "minimal" writing. <BR/><BR/>If you the Committee can't describe it more precisely, maybe some illustrative pictures would help. Someone could take pictures of rejected film at the next collection and post them here.<BR/><BR/>I understand this is difficult to do and appreciate the Committee's efforts, but more guidance on plastic film would really be useful.Franklin Bynumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11230142148555765344noreply@blogger.com
