Hi Pete and Shawn—

Here are my zero-waste activities from the past week: 

• Drafted instructions for opening the trailer where participants can drop off full containers of nitrile gloves for recycling. I will need to redraft the instructions after viewing the trailer itself. I had planned to go by and see it today, but with it being the coldest day of the millennium, I thought perhaps I could postpone until it’s above zero again! 
• Drafted the Fall 2017 semester report that Morgan will submit to the Student Sustainability Committee
• Continued my search for information on how best to store used coffee grounds—Rebecca Seymour at the Illini Union Starbuck’s asked if I had the information, so I have been researching it for her. So far, we have one farmer (John McNally) who would like to use the coffee grounds. I am working with him and Rebecca to arrange for him to pick them up.
• Drafted replies to a CURC survey and requested information from Morgan that will allow me to complete it.

Best regards,
Marya Ryan
Zero Waste Coordinator
