[Newleaf] favor to ask

[Roger Guzowski]

As a side project, I recently wrote a blog entry.  It is a print version of a keynote address that I have given at a couple of conferences.
 
http://blog.max-r.net/2011/06/19/recycling-a-manufacturing-process/
 
Two things:
 
First, I would love your feedback about the blog.
 
Second, I would love to pick your brains about opportunities to incorporate more of this sort of discussion into the academic and co-curricular parts of campus.  Do you think that is better done by incorporating into an existing class, or as a special-event-style presentation?  Or something else?  
 
I would like to get more of this background recycling and sustainable materials management discussion happening on campus.  I think that if people have already seen this, it helps with other projects that you are working on like bottled water, etc.
 
Let me know what you think.

Subject: [Newleaf] moving ahead with the sustainability pledge





Hi Folks,
I think that the first step with the sustainability pledge is to figure out
content.  I thought we could make a list of all the things it could include.
So, what do YOU think should be on it?

Here are the suggestions that we have so far:
- leave your car home and only use the zipcars and buses
-reusable mugs for coffee/tea (which also gets you a discount)
- not bringing a mini fridge
- bringing your own water bottle instead of buying bottled water
- buying used things
- turning off lights and power strips,
-biking a lot at hampshire
- using reusable bags
-keeping the heat at a reasonable level
- using cold water for laundry


-Rebecca
