Students for Sustainable Living: Waste and Recycling Team
Our team has three main focuses for this semester, each ranked based on urgency and feasibility:
1) Coffee Break with Duke Recycles: This is a program targeted toward faculty and staff in both academic and administrative buildings to help raise awareness about the resources available to them through the recycling office and Sustainable Duke. we will be collaborating with Duke recycles to help finalize project plans and logitics and help give presentations to various campus offices.
2) Other tangible, easily doable projects: Labeling, sinage, etc. (we will need to talk to other groups that are doing this to collaborate), advertising/marketing for different initiatives on campus (e.g. "Buy-a-Bin" and "Move Out for Charity"), the free store, and a resource guide/inventory to help Arwen keep track of contacts and to further develop this wiki page.
3) In the midst of the above two, we hope to focus on developing plans for the implementation of creative/innovative ideas. One such idea we would help with, which is already building momentum, is creating a vending machine that takes back your empty cans. Overall, the idea here is to help raise awareness about the creative possibilities within the waste and recycle sector and help to initiate a so called "creative movement".
