comments on draft from Olivia Webb

Posted by Morgan White on October 11, 2014

I'd like to add a strategy: to review purchasing policy to curtail unnecessary purchases in general. I would also like to note the previous iCAP strategies in this report: this is important when saying things like "several of the previous strategies are unlikely to be implemented at UIUC". 

I also think that this sentence-

On several measures of purchases and waste, UIUC has been performing worse than in the iCAP

baseline year (2008) – such as more total waste and landfill, and lower weight of recycled commodities.

should be changed to have better wording, like:

Compared to the iCAP baseline year (2008), the University has been displaying poor performance on several measure related to purchasing and waste: the total amount of waste sent to the landfill has increased, and the amount of waste diverted to recycling has decreased.

Finally, I feel that references to UIUC should be changed to "the University", not an acronym.

If the exact wording will not be adopted in the new iCAP, the last two suggestions are somewhat irrelevant.
