EduCon Green List

Let's start a wish list and see how much we can accomplish.

1. Can we find someone to compost all food scraps, paper products, etc?

2. Can we use recyclable plastics? Or No plastics? Or reduce it to one bottle per person?

3. Can we use locally grown/produced foods?

4. If there is a give away, can it be locally made, organic, etc.?

5. We'd need to see what the budget for all of this is, and maybe we could add a bit to the registration to cover it per person?

6. Can we have a EduGreen Team of students? If so, what would they do?

7. Could we not print programs and make it all electronically? or keep it down to only a few?

8. A) Some way to power computers charging/ cameras/ projectors that is not from the power grid? B) Power strips so that everything gets turned off when it isn't being used.

9. An opt in for people who want to offset their travel? (not sure how we would calculate that or anything)

10. Having people bring a sweater or something? that way we don't have to turn the heat WAY up on a weekend when it wouldn't normally be on high.

11. Make sure coffee is Green! Knowing Lehmann's intake there will be a lot of coffee drunk that weekend.


 * Potential Contacts, Resources:**

[|Philly Compost] looks like a good resource for finding out what we can do with scraps if we can get people to scrape their plates, or maybe use compostable plates (which would be the best solution.) They also have an [|on-site composting system for schools]. Maybe we could find out the cost? See if maybe there is a way of getting one for SLA?

Maybe we could use these guys for coffee? [|Joecoffeebar.com]
