Recyling Program in Tenochca- Pilot Program FA 09

Benida Mann, Steve Lincoln, and Igancio Prado have been working with the recycling coordinator at Allied Waste to work on a recycling program for our dorms!

We3 are very excited to hear about this great initiative! Tenochca will be the first dorm used as an example for this pilot program. Allied Waste currently picks up recycling on campus so they are simply adding another stop to their route. Presently, a search for funding options is in the works, but so far they have found a great alternative for blue recycle bins in each dorm room (which can be very costly). They are proposing to give every student living in the dorms (about 4,000) a reusable bag made from recycled materials, with the hope that the students will take these down to the recycling center or large 90 gallon bins that will be on each floor. The bags are coated with a special covering, which prevents them from getting sticky.

If you have any suggestions for educational campaigns please direct your comments to Erin and she can give feed back to Residential Hall Association (RHA).

Green Fest 2009 in San Fran Nov 13-15th

Green Fest is almost here! Mark your calenders for our trip.

What is Green Fest?
At Green Festival (or "Green Fest"), a joint project of Global Exchange and Green America, we’re celebrating what’s working in our communities—for people, business and the environment. Think of Green Festival as a walk through a sustainable community. Organizations and businesses showcase programs and products that restore the planet and all that inhabit it.

• e3 will be covering hotels and travel
• we are applying for travel funds and will hopefully receive the full amount
• admission is $10 with a valid student id for all three days
• we are looking into volunteer options for a fee waiver but it may be worth it to just pay the $10; let us know your thoughts

We will be having a Kick Has Mini Mass to get amped up for the Oct. 24th event. We will have an MTS bus on campus (near Aztec Center) and hopefully some really great visual components. Please be brainstorming ideas and Holly will post the notes from the GM meeting soon!

Farmers Market

Farmers' Market (FM)

John, Tara, Holly and Erin met with Brian and Ashley from Aztec Shops about the first FM. We went over how the FM went, clean-up, finances, profit margins, future ideas, and where we go from here.

• Dining Services wants to make sure that the VENDORS feel welcome so please make sure to introduce yourselves to the vendors and ask how the vendors are doing and if there is anything you can do to help.

• We need to make sure we pick up our wooden signs from around campus after the FM on Thursdays so Brian/Ashley do not have to go around picking up our signs since that isn't part of their duties, and since they kindly storing and transporting our signs already
  
• Dining Services totaled the revenue from our first FM. We made about $980 based on percentages of the vendors. This money will go into covering pay for Brian and Ashley, Physical Plant Clean-up, marketing expenses, etc. It is unknown at this point how much money e3 will receive but we will negotiate towards the end of the semester
• If this semester proves to be beneficial to Aztec Shops and Dining Services we will most likely re-vamp the FM with a design, name, posters (made by the on campus design people)
