| Early last year I posted on my office compost bin, which began as coffee ground collection and then expanded into a real compost collector.
Today a colleague pointed out that the company-provided cups are now cardboard. Since they actually say "compostable" on them, I sent out a message reminding everyone that they can compost these cups in the compost bin. I also noted that the cold water cups are now recyclable PETE.
Then my boss thanked me for sending the message and told me that she made the change thoughout our 100 person or so company unit! And she is still considering stopping the provision of disposable cups entirely! She is a mid-level manager, so I was amazed that she could make this happen.
Yeehah! |
