Fall Quarter Lunch Time Discussion Group
The Office for Sustainability invites faculty and staff to participate in a free, six-week discussion course on Hungry For Change: Food, Ethics & Sustainability. In the course of reading articles from numerous authors with diverse perspectives and from group discussion, participants will:
- Explore the interconnected nature of food systems and our relationships to them.
- Examine the impact our food choices have on our health, the health of others and the health of our planet.
- Consider the ethical and political implications of our current food system and our personal food choices.
- Create a personal action plan and discover how to create a healthy food environment.

The six weekly discussions will take place Oct. 21 to Dec. 6. Participants bring and eat their lunch during the discussion. To register, email Karen Price by Monday, October 7 with your preferred time, either 12-12:50pm and/or 12:30-1:20pm, and which week days you can meet. Participants will be organized into one of several groups based on their preferred days and time.
New Food Waste + Compostables, Recycling & Trash Bins
Inside the older buildings you will see new food waste + compostables, recycling and trash bins. Each building has at least one food waste + compostables bin in a hallway. The bins replace the ugly, old grey bins with our new bin style.

Styrene Foam Recycling is Here!
We now recycle Styrene foam from your office or home. Place Styrene foam next to your recycling bin. Styrene foam must be dry, clean and have no tape, labels, metal objects or food on it. To identify your foam, look for the #6 or EPS inside the recycle symbol, bend the material and it will break and snap with loose beads.
