Idling for Campus Service Vehicles
2008-12-18 10:04:12 UTC
All,
Has anyone created any policies or campaigns to reduce the idling of service vehicles on their campus? We're trying to gauge methods and effectiveness.
Thanks.

Cutlery: Plastic vs. Biodegradable vs. Flatware
2008-06-19 15:53:09 UTC
Does anyone know of research that shows the environmental impact difference between using plastic vs. biodegradable vs. flatware for a conference? We are especially interested in the last two categories. We are hosting a conference here at Penn State in July and would like to use the most environmentally friendly product, but cannot figure out whether it would be better to use flatware, which would need to be washed afterwards, or biodegradable products, which could be composted in our facility here on campus. We would like the plastic comparison just to educate our conference participants.
Thank you.

Biking Regulations
2007-10-11 16:16:05 UTC
Hello,
Here are Penn State we are working on ways to help bikers and pedestrians share the sidewalks in ways that keep both safe. In the District of Columbia, they mandate that all bikers must have bells or other auditory devices on their bikes to warn walkers of their approach. We are wondering if there are other cities or communities that require bells on bikes and if so, does it help. Any experiences you can share on this topic would be appreciated.
Thank you.
