Meeting Updates and the CPC

-Greenfire has created 3 main goals/groups for this term: the Clean Plate Challenge, Little Something Greens, and Recycling

1. CPC is THIS WEEK. Scraping in front of the dish area during the entire dinner shift Mon-Sunday. Tabling on Mon and Tue. See the last email for shifts or to sign up. The dining hall wants to weigh waste 1 day of the week for the rest of the year to moniter food waste. (AKA to see it decrease!)

2. Little Something Greens: Many new ones are made and laminated. Stop by the living room and pick some up to post around campus. We are always making more!

3. Recycle News: LU is single stream. Work on signs for above all recycling bins on campus (ie. do's and don't's). Continue to recycle CFLs, ink cartridges, batteries, chargers, used electronics, etc. and the Funding Factory. Recycle MANIA is Jan 17th to March 27th.
