Rachelle came with a really cool website she found. It was the one mentioned on the blog already that contains free printable signs that use pictures to help people recycle. Angie took more pictures of the recycling problem as evidence. David was very helpful is describing why we should focus our project a little more as it was beginning to be too broad. Anne had good insight as to how we can focus the project more and pros and cons for each option we could choose from. Chelsea had found a sustainability report card for UWRF that shows that Sodexo already has a program to reduce the amount of paper cups being used for coffee. We discussed this fully.
In order to clarify if the reusable mug program actually exists, (it said that if you bring your own mug, you get a medium or large drink for the price of a small) our group together wrote a list of questions to send to Michael Vanslow asking about the program. The questions included were:
- Do they offer med. or large drinks for price of small with reusable mug as mentioned in following link? http://www.greenreportcard.org/report-card-2011/schools/university-of-wisconsin-river-falls/surveys/dining-survey
- If this is the case, where is it offered? (C-store, retail dining, Peregrine Perks)
- Do the employees know to offer this to students? Do they know how to ring it up?
- Has it been advertised in the past or is it advertised now?
- If it is not currently offered, are you open to offering this option or something similar?
- Can Michael Vanselow help with this or is there someone else we need to contact?
Angie sent the email to him. Thank you for doing that Angie! We heard back very quickly and it does exist. Knowing that now, we are thinking of having our solution be advertising that this program exists and the result of that would hopefully be having more students use their reusable mugs and therefore eliminating more waste.
We are meeting again next Wednesday. Same place, same time.
