Waste Reduction

June 24, 2010

My college is implementing an enhanced recycling plan. All trash cans have been removed from our offices. Many have also been removed from our public areas as well. We are a full service library. We receive a lot of junk mail that needs to be discarded. We have a print station for students and they do not always leave with their printouts.

I wanted to discard a piece of junk mail. After I removed the plastic wrapper I put the paper in one of our old and large paper recycling bins that was hidden and has not been removed….and I’m hoping that we can keep it.

So my next task was to throw out the plastic wrapper. It sort of fit in a small plastic container meant for our real waste. Some of this must be thought out further. What works for an individual office space will quickly spill over in our public areas, even for recyclables.

Fall colors

Every year the ivy that runs up this tree on Tuck Drive turns bright red. When I first saw it I thought students pulled a prank and painted the tree trunk.

Sketchy – Bill Shannon

May 28, 2005

Former Pittsburgher Bill Shannon brought his NY toupe to Hanover for an amazing performance. Lucky for all who caught one of his shows. And lucky for me that my son was in town to share in seeing Bill’s multimedia dance performance. Way to go Bill! VirtualProvocateur

Shaun of the Dead

Can hardly believe it myself that I just went to see the zombie film Shaun of the Dead! It was one of the Dartmouth Film Society selections. My recommendation is, that depends.
