Attendance: Liz Doeschot, Sarah Carten, Bryan Johnson, Shawn Patterson, Meredith Moore, Jen Fraterrigo, Marian, Shreya Mahajan

• Debrief after the 11/14 zero waste game:
  • Shift based system for volunteers would work better: keeps the shifts shorter, more engaged volunteers, allows us to focus on specific roles at specific points.
  • Blue bags could be saved back until closer to half-time when things pick up (was a slow start, so it would be wiser to put these folks in other roles during the earlier part of the game).
  • Offer free ticket, so students could enjoy game either first or second half before or after their shift (incentive).
  • Bin placement - think about what works for SFC best (more permanent vs more moveable).
  • Get sustainability trivia announced during the pre-game, so it’s brought to everyone’s attention.
  • People loved the shirts, loved the tote bags.
  • Lots of positive feedback, there was a post-event survey sent out (Marty may have updates next week on responses to this).
  • Reach out to concessionaire about how many Coca-Cola products are sold vs recycled.
  • weight empty bottle to make the transition between number of bottles sold vs weight we gather at the Waste Transfer Station (would be an estimate with upper and lower bounds).
• Recycling Value Assessment by Circular Solutions
  • Get phone call done after Thanksgiving / in December.
  • Audit done sometime next year.
