Calvin College, MI Dining Services Go Green

Type: Policy
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://www.calvin.edu/admin/food/
Description:
One of Calvin Dining Services' goals this school year was to further our efforts in recycling and other ways of "going green". We are happy to announce the implementation of the following practices:
* Plastic bottled water at the Admission Recruitment lunch "Friday's at Calvin" have been eliminated. instead, guests are served water from glass pitchers.
* For breaks and events on campus that are catered. glass carafes with Greenware cups are being used. These cups are 100% compostable and fully environmentally sustainable.
* Calvin Dining Services has changed from plastic products to paper or biodegradable when possible.
* Recycling is taking place in the Commons kitchen - with bins for glass, metal, and plastic. Aluminum is also recycled.
* Recycling bins for all catering breaks and envents are being utilized to care for the environment.
* Dining Services is using glass plates (versus disposable plastic). We are currently in the process of changing disposable silverware into Potatoware: a cutlery made from potato starch resins which are biodegradable from the company "GreenGoods".
* For our cookouts, we will feature organic fabrics, locally-grown flowers, and buying locally whenever possible. We are also eliminating canned drinks, switching to 5 gallon Air Voids filled with lemonade and water in which guests can help themselves.
* Efforts are made in the office to recycle paper and other materials, and being conscientious when printing documents, viewing or sending electronically when possible.

Conservation
ASU Energy Conservation Project
To reduce its overall energy consumption and water use, ASU recently completed a 24-month energy conservation project directed toward upgrading the utilities infrastructure on the Tempe campus. This project involved retrofitting lighting systems; replacing motors, chiller and cooling tower; upgrading HVAC systems; insulating steam pipes; installing a solar photovoltaic parking cover; initiating a boiler blow-down heat recovery system; installing direct digital control systems for new central plant equipment; and installing thermal energy storage controls.
Encompassing 80 buildings, the retrofits generated by this project will reduce energy consumption by about 33 million kWh per year and will decrease emissions by approximately 69,069,000 pounds of carbon dioxide; 1,254 pounds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs); 137,742 pound of nitrogen oxide (NOx); 7,623 pounds of particulates; and 429,594 milligrams of mercury every year.
In addition to these retrofits, ASU also has begun to install an energy information system on campus that will provide real-time, on-line access to information about how campus buildings are consuming energy.
Mandated Heating and Cooling Temperatures
To reduce energy consumed in the heating and cooling of ASU buildings, room temperature guidelines at ASU’s Tempe campus mandate that classrooms and offices are heated to no higher than 68 degrees Fahrenheit and are cooled to no lower than 78 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, many buildings are being shut down on nights and on weekends.
Renewable Energy
Solar Powered Parking Structure
With more than 300 sunny days per year, Phoenix is a prime location for developing and using solar power. The roof of ASU’s Tyler Street Parking Structure houses a 30 kW photovoltaic system that generates energy for internal lights and provides shade for parked cars during the day. The receptors produce energy during peak energy and parking demand hours, allowing the university to conserve energy, reduce harmful emissions, and at the same time, comply with the university’s green building initiative.
Contract with Solar Developers
The Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI) was launched in August 2006 with the mission of applying a business-oriented approach to the fight against climate change in practical, measurable and significant ways. In November 2007, ASU issued a request for proposals, seeking a Solar Energy Performance Contract in line with the CCI. The intent of the contract is to establish an ongoing business relationship with a solar developer(s), to solarize over 310,000 sq ft of ASU building roofs, and to use the facilities as a key educational component of the Global Institute of Sustainability. Four to seven megawatts of power will be produced for ASU under a qualified management agreement.

Description:
The Georgia Tech Campus Supported Agriculture (CSA) Program is back!
If you would like to join the dozens of members of the Georgia Tech Campus Agriculture Program to have fresh, local, organic family farmed foods delivered to you on campus please register at Moore Farms and Friends online marketplace.
How do I order my food?
Orders must be made between 5pm on Friday and 5pm on Monday at the Moore Farms and Friends online marketplace. Remember to select Georgia Tech as your pick-up location when placing your order.
What can I order?
The CSA program's basic shares will be vegan produce boxes, but you will have the option to order other items including meat, eggs, cheese, milk, pasta, grains, and other vegetables. Our program uses an online marketplace which allows for you to either order a regular CSA share and/or other items for your delivered box. You may pay by credit, debit, check, or paypal. There is no seasonal commitment and orders are made on a weekly basis.
How much does it cost?
There is an annual registration fee of $25 to make your purchases. A regular farmer pick box for two people is $20 and a large box for three to four people is $30. You may pick a custom box for an additional packing fee of $4. CSA members find that a box lasts approximately a week depending on how often you cook.
Where and when do I pick up my food?
You may pick up your order on Wednesdays in the Student Center between Burdell's and the Post Office from 12:30-4pm.

Cape Town, South Africa Integrated Waste Exchange

Type: Program
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://www.capetown.gov.za/en/iwex/Pages/default.aspx
Description:
What is IWEX?
IWEX (Integrated Waste Exchange) is a free online system that enables waste generators and users to exchange waste materials. Operating on the principle that ‘one person’s garbage is another person’s gold,' IWEX facilitates the re-use of waste, thereby conserving energy, minimising resource use and reducing the pressure on Cape Town's landfill space. The service is freely available to anyone who generates or uses waste, including companies, individuals, institutions, schools, NGOs and community groups.
Why use IWEX? 
* IWEX can turn fixed costs for waste storage, transport and disposal into savings
* IWEX can give your company a competitive edge in the sustainable usage of resources
* IWEX can unlock a market for your company's unwanted materials
* IWEX can help you locate alternative material suppliers that offer the perfect input material for your business, at a competitive price, thereby lowering your raw material or input costs
* IWEX can improve your company’s environmental and social responsibility image
How it works:
1. Register - new users
Register on the IWEX system to list any waste materials you'd like to exchange, contact others whose waste you'd like to obtain and receive an automatic notification when someone wants your waste material.
2. Logon - existing users
To 'advertise' your unwanted waste, you need to logon to the IWEX system. You can then create a list of the waste materials you'd like to offer and/or specify the materials you're looking for. This information is then posted onto the IWEX catalogue where it can be browsed by interested people.
3. Browse
The IWEX catalogue displays available and wanted waste. Should you wish to initiate an exchange, click on the material you're interested in to access the contact details of the waste supplier or user. Please note that you will need to be registered and logged on to do so.
