No More Styro!
Hello! Just wanted to share with y'all some good news for today, this time in the area of environmental responsibility. I went down to get some chow and was pleasantly surprised to know that styro containers are now banned from the CSB caf! Now isn't that something to smile about? Some concessionaires have not found replacements yet (hence no takeout) but Koi already has nice cardboard boxes for take out orders. I asked the staff the price difference of cardboard and styro and they said its P2 per which may be a substantial increase for the owners (unless they pass it on to the buyers) but then hey, it's our environment!So kudos to GAS and to the people who pushed for this. Finally we're practicing what we're preaching in NATSCA2!
While we're on the topic, why don't we suggest other policies to cut down waste in our campus. Here's mine: put a box beside the accounting window where faculty get their checks so that they can recycle those small brown envelopes. Can you imagine how many we buy every month and worse, how many of these get chucked in the bin after the recipient gets the checks? There's no markings or names on the envelopes anyway so these can easily be recycled. I still remember years ago during my part time days when I would keep those just because I would feel guilty throwing them away. (Hello Ms Mayette!)
Anyway, here's to a greener world for us and the next generations!

This environment-friendly "practice" has also pleased the NatSci faculty. I hope that the same can be done in the AKIC campus.
However, I must say that the self-bussing practice is more evident at the AKIC cafeteria, but not here at the Taft campus. I wonder if it would help to designate some OSB officers in the canteen... At least for a month until the community, especially the students get used to cleaning after their own mess.
OSB will only be too happy to help in the implementation of the self bussing practice. Please provide us a copy of the written memo addressed to the students, faculty, and staff re this rule (student handbook 5.6.1.50).
A memo from whom?
