New in Environmental News
GSP Chairs Linda and Deb recently meet with SSC and Erin and conducted a waste audit. As a result of that audit there will be a few changes being made to how we will be handling our waste. For starters, each room in the building should have two waste cans: one for paper recycle and one for landfill. All receptacles will eventually be relabeled and we ask that everyone pay close attention as to where you are throwing your disposables and to not remove the cans from the rooms. We will be adding new receptacles for bottles/cans and we'll be signing up for the FoodPlus program which recycles a variety of products like pizza boxes, paper towels, etc. We will be reducing the size of the big landfill receptacles out back so it'll be very important for everyone to place recycled materials in the appropriate receptacles. More information about these changes will be announced later as the changes are instituted.
Check our our new environmental justice page on environmental groups. It's a simple listing of local, national and international groups working on a variety of environmental issues. Any and all of them need our support. If there any groups you would like to add to this list, contact Deb Cruz @ dwcruz@comcast.net.
Call to BUF Artists! The Green Sanctuary webpage is looking for green artists to submit photos or reproductions of their artwork or other creative projects.
