Beyond the Bottle, 10/4

See below for minutes from our meeting on Sunday. Sorry I was so slow in getting these out.
We split up into three groups to discuss BUDS, Administration, and Student Awareness, and came together at the end to report and discuss:
Student Body:

Chrissy and Priya – will write a survey for us to distribute about water bottles

Stephen and Matt – posters

Talia – getting a feature about us in the BDH

Tabling on the Main Green and in JWW – looking at this Tuesday for Main Green – taste test and panels. Everyone who would be interested in helping out with a taste test/tabling/survey distribution on the Main Green on Tuesday, please respond with your availability between 11-4! It’s always really fun!

Madeleine will be the point person for a film screening to be held tentatively Tues, Nov. 17th 8:00 p.m. (M, i got your e-mail and will respond shortly!)

Madeleine – contact Denise to get the film, and input for speakers or a panel

Priya – contacting Phil Brown – potential panelist

Everyone – contact professors or other people you know who might be interested in a panel discussion on bottled water/water privatization following the film screening

Plastic bottle art competition and display – Ari talk to Phil O’Hara

Visual model of our bottled water consumption – Jackson

Administration:

Learned that RISD has almost eliminated bottled water

BUCC resolution – talking to Clay to find out about making a proposal

UCS resolution first – get their support to bring to BUCC

BUDS:

Big goals: to get BUDS to sell bottles again; have a design competition for that or use BtB logo; expand pilot project to get signage in every single eatery on campus; filtration system in certain eateries; see about BUDS’ role in the Emergency Action Plan; Matt and Owen; getting workers to tell people to drink tap

(End of minutes)

Even if you weren’t at the meeting, if ANYTHING here looks like something you’d want to get involved in, let me know! We’ve got exciting stuff going on!
