Smoothie Social @ Kirwan Complex Block Party
Weigh the Waste - Earth Day @ BlazerOn Wednesday night the Wellness Assistant and I volunteered to help the sustainability department with their Earth Day event. Coincidentally, their event was titled "Weigh the Waste" and was just in time for my Plate Waste Study assignment. We blocked off the tray-line and set up a table at the entrance with different containers for waste. We had one container marked for compost, which was to include food, liquids, and biodegradable napkins. Another was devoted to recyclables, including #1 and #2 plastics, paper, and cardboard. The final container was for items doomed for the landfill, including waxed cups and lids, plastic wrappers and straws. The sustainability coordinator had developed an educational game that was really fun and informative. She had a variety of "garbage" with various receptacles labeled for their methods of disposal. It was interesting to learn that Lexington recycling centers only accept #1 and #2 plastics, and bottles with "necks" or that have screw caps. This event taught me more than I would have ever imagined to learn, and it was interesting to perform the plate waste study at the end of the semester. Produce of the Month - Asparagus
