• 1/4/05: New meeting minutes here. The highlight of today's meeting was our conversation with Michael Glidden, the facilities manager for HFS. In summary, we will be writing a proposal for a small-scale pilot paper recycling program on one floor or tower of a dorm in order to gauge the feasibility/demand for a schoolwide paper recycling program in the dorms, and he will be providing us with resources to help implement our pilot program. He will (hopefully) use the data from the pilot program to make the case to HFS for widescale paper recycling. There will be an extra meeting in HUB 304F on Thursday, January 6th at 5:00 pm to put together our proposal for Mr. Glidden. Be there.
