Can and Bottle Collection in SVM - Update from Tracey M

# data[].attributes.body
So I started about 5 weeks ago and i have collected about 150 bottles and cans averaging 6 a day, with a total of 22.50.

I am  finding that people are STILL throwing their cans and bottles into the actual bins, and into the recycling bins, despite the three ReTurn bins being positioned right beside the recycling bins with a laminated poster for ReTurn bottles and a red arrow pointing to the ReTurn beside the hole for the recycling.

I feel the sustainability group are doing wonders for recycling for the school and their local environments however I feel a little more needs to be done to drive the point home to all students that with all the sustainability talk going around a can does not belong in a bin!

Students have been asking in the school office where the money is going for the bottles so I have decided I will donate half of what I make in a year to the DSPCA and keep the rest for supplies for fosters I take from them to further reduce the cost on the DSPCA if I start to pull in more than 22 euro in 5 weeks!   I wasn't really doing it for the money it was more for sustainability and the fact that it drives me nuts that with all the hard work from everyone people still choose to bin their recycling.

Please add any comments or ideas for this day. We are currently planning to have a couple of invited speakers, maybe a couple of short exemplars, and then a world cafe-style discussion session to brainstorm ideas for promoting and supporting sustainability within the Vet School.

Our aim is to have three main theme areas - labs, clinics, and education.

We are very much open to everyones' ideas and contributions!

A more sustainable future requires everyone working together to strive for a balance between economic activity, societal needs, and sustainable planetary boundaries.

As captured by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, it is imperative that we strive to maintain the environment we all ultimately depend on, at the same time ensuring that everyone has fairer access to what it has to offer.
