Green Team Meeting Minutes- Next Step
SBA Faculty Services
Although it was a small meeting, I believe it was productive! I just
wanted to follow up, especially with those of you who are serving as
representatives, and let you know what we discussed and what the next
steps are for this competition! Below are the details.
Members Present:

The focus of the meeting was the Spring Waste Diversion Competition and
what we, as green team members, should be doing to help our hallways and
offices.
There are several easy steps that we believe the 5 Green Team
representatives should take from here to help the teams. They are:
1. Email your teams within the next week to either set up in-face
meetings or determine whether an email discussion would work best.
2. Once you have determined method of communication, administer the
survey (provided) or some variation of the survey to help your teams
identify their biggest problem areas and what they would like to do with
them.
3. Compile this information and come up with helpful suggestions and
action steps for your teams.
4. Aid your teams in meeting their goals by providing waste diversion
knowledge and helping them carry out whatever steps they have decided on
(i.e., getting desk recycling bins for everyone's office)
5. Pay in-face visits to your teams throughout the quarter to see if
they have any questions, etc. We believe in person contact will be
critical to helping people actually learn about the resources available
to them.
Based on the waste audit results, there are some very obvious steps that
we would encourage everyone to take with their teams. These include:
1. Suggesting that every hallway and office gets recycling bins for
their desks.
2. Going over knowledge of what can and cannot be recycled on campus and
how to utilize these resources. If questions come up, let me know! We
can and will figure them out.
3. Make sure everyone takes a good look at the waste audit results and
understands what it means and how the results were calculated.
4. If you have questions about what the biggest issues were in your
team, ask Zoie or Rachel! We know!
5. Perhaps offer to do a mid quarter assessment with your teams so that
they can identify what areas they are still unclear on (Waste audits are
actually fairly easy! Zoie and Rachel can help you learn how to complete
one:))
Finally, to make things easier for everyone, I am going to be composing
my own email to my teams within the next week and can happily send it
out to everyone as a sample to cut down on the work involved on your
part! I will do so sometime next week.
Hope all is well and let us know if you have questions!
Sincerely,
Rachel
