 Update from Jenna & Jean
 Lots of discussion was generated as a result of this topic
 Edward brought up the option on renting a scale to use
 We need to determine the feasibility of this option prior to moving forward;
HOWEVER, we have spoken a few times with Cynthia Bryant from
Deffenbaugh and she is willing to work with us and even come to our
meeting to present options that we have for more efficient and measurable
recycling.
 Signs for trash & recycling bins
 Rick and his team have developed and produced signage
 Signs are in and going up on every recycling bin in the building
 Public recycling and trash bins have been re-organized throughout the
building so that they are next to one another
New Business
 Next steps for interested students
 CBA Sustainability club
 Michael O’Hara has volunteered to be the club’s advisor
 We will extend the invitation to officers of the club to become a part of
the CBA Green Team
 One suggestion for a sustainability club activity is for them to have a
“fill the tires” day where we bring in supplies to fill the tires for
students for free (reduces the amount of gas used)
 Possibly involve students in weighing/sorting trash
 CBA Environmental aspects and impacts
 Bubble-up, bubble down process
 2 teams ordered the different environmental aspects and impacts
according to priority
 The two lists were combined after input was given from both teams:
 1. Curricula inclusion of sustainability
 2. Reduce usage of the handicap assist doors
 3. Reduce printing
 4. TVs and computers going to “sleep” when not in use
 5. Increase recycling
 Others: reduce student smoking near building and on campus
in general, close blinds, student parking- allow shuttle buses to
pick students up from garages
