Looking Back
Looking Forward
There is still much to be done. The first thing I must do is continue conversations with dining services about revamping the EcoTainer program. More work must be done in order to ensure a new, efficient system is in place as soon as possible. Secondly, I must address health concerns and cost concerns with dining services regarding the Cupanion program. Right now, dining services is not too convinced that introducing a reusable drinkware system is feasible.
Progress towards reducing disposable plastic waste at dining locations was definitely achieved during this semester long project. The conversations I engaged in with members of dining services should help to initiate future conversations regarding sustainability and reduction of waste. Researching how other schools minimize their waste and what programs are available to help achieve this also added value.
