Oh wow, Philippe’s already started his project, he’s collecting data on our plastic bottle and disposable cup consumption. I need to start thinking of ideas. So far, I’ve come up with two ideas that might be feasible.
1. Setting up a product exchange between students.
Being a frugal student, and only being here for 1 year, I would have appreciated access to pots and pans, dishware, cutlery, and other relatively inexpensive, but too heavy to bring items. Since Cambridge is very international, and has a high rate of student turnover, I think there must be excessive amount of waste at the end of the school year for each student. It would be great if some of these products can be passed on to students in the following year.
2. Paper recycling at Wolfson College.
To my surprise, Wolfson College does not have paper recycling. Let me rephrase that, it does, but only in 3 key areas: next to the Porter’s lodge, in the computer room, and next to the main dumpster. I am hoping to make recycling more accessible for each student.
I am going to have to do some initial research for these ideas.
