L Th 3/20/2019 5:57 PMWent to a DSAC (Dining Services committee) meeting today. I brought up composting and they informed me that once their planned summer renovations are complete, at least two additional dining locations on campus will offer composting or compost-friendly bowls and utensils! I pushed a bit more on the subject, and they admitted that the biggest hurdle was the extra cost of the compost-friendly materials. Wish there was a good way to address or mitigate this concern. -

L Th 3/16/2019 7:27 AMThis is a really neat idea for encouraging people to properly dispose of their trash: let them exchange it for credit towards public transportation (i.e., metro card). https://wtop.com/asia/2018/09/taiwanese-use-new-machines-to-exchange-trash-for-cash/
