BicyCAL is moving along steadily. We've hired three mechanics, an operations manager and are seeking applicants for a fundraising, outreach and communications intern.

BicyCAL has an outreach challenge of getting 400 new contacts and incorporating them into our e-mail list. We're also collecting detailed data about the number of people we help each day and what they needed help with. This data will serve a number of uses, some of which I'll mention below. But briefly, these numbers will help us refine our service, know what to include in our repair inventory, help focus the training of new volunteer mechanics, and have a quantifiable sense of accomplishment! Also, I'm sure TGIF would like some data.

What else are we up to? We're making progress on applying for wholesale accounts for the shop so we can provide students, faculty and staff with basic repair merchandise instead of sending them to a bike shop in Berkeley to pick up the part.

We've gained a few new committed volunteers and we're excited about that.

BicyCAL is also looking ahead, we're trying to navigate our way into the lower Sproul redevelopment (we think we've got a good shot) and we're developing a budget proposal to present to P&T in hopes that we could be included on their annual budget starting next year.

The UC Berkeley Compost Alliance, in partnership with the CRRS and the Green Team of A&E, is proposing to bring composting services and waste diversion education to the A&E building for a one-year pilot in an effort to divert 92% of the building’s waste from landfills through composting and improved recycling. A&E will be one of several buildings on campus in the pilot program that will pave the path to establishing a campus-wide compost system.

The UC Berkeley Compost Alliance

The Compost Alliance (CA) is a student group founded in Fall 2010 dedicated to implementing a campus-wide compost collection system. Student coordinators and volunteers work directly with campus stakeholders to progressively implement compost systems in each building across campus as well as help educate the campus community on waste reduction topics. Housed under Campus Recycling and Refuse Services (CRRS), the CA is funded primarily by grants from the Alameda County Waste Management Authority grant, the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Sustainability (CACS) Green Fund, and The Green Initiative Fund (TGIF). One of the major impediments to implementing a compost collection system at UC Berkeley is funding – currently composting services cost the campus more than sending compostable materials to the landfill. The Compost Alliance is currently in the first phase of system rollout: “Achieving Critical Mass.” The aim of this phase is to establish compost systems in enough buildings to prove its efficacy at reducing waste and to create enough demand that more cost-effective collection will be possible, such as collection of compostable waste by in-house services. By reducing the cost, other buildings will more easily be able to participate.

Composting at A&E Lacking a compost system, A&E building occupants send an estimated 1,232.5 lbs of compostable material to landfill per academic year, according to a waste audit conducted over 4 days in September 2011. The large majority of this compostable material is paper towel waste from the bathrooms although food waste also makes up a significant portion. Together, paper towel, food, and compostable coffee cup waste comprises 26% of A&E’s waste stream. With a compost system in place, A&E can increase diversion from landfill from 57% currently to 83% (and 92% with improved recycling and reusing), helping reduce A&E’s environmental footprint and helping UC Berkeley achieve its stated goals of 75% waste diversion by 2012 and zero-waste by 2020.

The One-Year Pilot Compost Plan

The Compost Alliance, in collaboration with A&E, would like to implement a compost program at A&E, which will eventually become a part of a campus-wide compost system. The Compost Alliance will provide four ‘Slim Jim’ compost bins for each floor’s restroom and one for the top floor’s kitchenette. The custodial staff will pick up the compost every day along with the trash and take it out to the compost cart. PPCS is donating compostable bags and custodial services. The ongoing cost to A&E will be a monthly pick-up charge of $22.96. The charge could be split among the three departments housed within A&E and will amount to about $7.65 per unit/month.

NOTE: We were unable to complete much work on ths project over the summer as previously planned due to previous committements from most of our teammates and others graduating. We have since recruited over 10 new students to the project on 3 teams to tackle finish the project. Our team seems extremely motivated and knowledgable so we are very enthusiastic about the progress we will make this semester. :)

Brian Joseph of L&S Facilities will have his team install the filters at no $2000 cost and they will store the filters. This amount is for a 24-pack.

Total 7,836

Please describe the purpose of this budget reallocation.

Our proposal was if the installation of the 4 refill stations did not use all of the budget, then we would consider installation of a 5th refill station and explore a whole new option of retrofitting certain water fountains with bottle fillers. This is an alternative for some buildings that don’t meet the Design Guidelines criteria.

We believe we can do both with the remaining funds in the budget (app $8,685).

We also had not planned for the issue of filter replacement but after discussions with L&S Facilities team that has been installing the refill stations, they prefer we keep the filters in the refill stations and have committed to replacing them at no charge for their labor. They would like a supply to have on hand. We have estimated a 24-pack should last for about two years.

How does this reallocation continue to meet the goals of your project? How will it change the sustainability impact?

This is all within the original proposal.

Project Name: I Heart Tap Water campaign Submitted By: Kim LaPean Due Date: 9/1/11

Original Budget Allocation Item Budget Line Amount Already Spent Publicity and Communication $1500 $1880.27 Personnel and Wages $3000 $2483.24

Total $136.49

Proposed Budget Reallocation Item Amount Continuation of I Heart Tap Water intern $2000.00

Total $2000.00

Please describe the purpose of this budget reallocation. The I Heart Tap Water campaign has proven to be an effective and popular campaign that garners support from students, staff, departments and student organizations. We proposed continuing the support for a dedicated student intern to manage the many working parts of this campaign for 2011-12.

How does this reallocation continue to meet the goals of your project? How will it change the sustainability impact? Having a dedicated student intern to partner directly with students and departments, and maintain visibility at multiple campus events made a significant difference in the visibility and continued success of our campaign. Currently University Health Services manages the campaign, and while staff are dedicated to keeping the campaign strong, we found that having a passionate student focused on publicizing the campaign and working with campus partners increased the impact and success of the campaign. Every year since the campaign was launched, the campus has seen a reduction of bottled water sales, and we continue to get more visibility and interest in our efforts. The continuation of the student intern position will ensure that we build on past successes. With the current initiatives to end the sale of bottled water, it will be even more important to have someone managing the campaign and keeping the campus focused on why it’s important to increase access to tap water, and work towards reducing plastic bottles of all types at Cal.

Recycling at Cal Meeting October 28, 2011 10am Katherine Walsh, Theron Klos, Michal Shulman

Bin approved by Facilities Services Committee  Ergonomically friendly  TGIF funding providing half the order; grant from Worker’s Compensation Fund providing the other half  Landfill, bottle & can, paper; potential for composting  Over 200 bins in the initial order  Waiting for a correction on the blue color

Ask Jim Horner  About plaques saying “Funded by The Green Initiative Fund” for the doors of the grant bins o Have plaques ready by January 15th  Laminated signage for the tops of the recycling bins  If the bins is now the new permanent standard for all future outdoor bins and new construction- is it in the Campus Master Landscape Plan

Manufacturer will have 30 extra on-hand for replacements; we have the design standards so bins could be made by other manufacturing companies in the future

After placement of the bins, we will create a map/list of locations and put out press releases in the Daily Cal, TGIF newsletter, Berkeleyan/Berkeley News Center, and Bright Green News

Roughly $700-800 remaining in the budget  Use money for hiring Greening Operations Team to conduct pre and post-implementation waste audits  Use money for signage and educational purposes

SCNPN Metrics- May through September 2011 Summary of activities: This summer was the first “official” summer season of operation of the Nursery and Garden as the grand opening occurred on May 4th, 2011. The event was well attended (approx. 50 guests including the Dean of CNR and the Director of Friends of Five Creeks, Susan Schwartz) and rather well covered by Campus media (the Berkeleyan) and the Berkeley Daily Planet. Preparations for the opening included a flurry of activity to ready the nursery and grounds for the big day including the delivery and spreading of mulch over the surrounding bare ground and the installation of the official sign. Many positive comments were received from visitors. Propagation activities were minimal this summer due to David Pon’s (Student Coordinator) decision to take an employment opportunity with San Francisco Parks for the bulk of the summer break. UCB staff member Tim Pine visited the site approximately weekly to attend to hand watering and garden maintenance. The SCNPN hosted Kids for the Bay Summer Camp this year after several years of working primarily on ivy removal with the kids (aged 5 to 9). The campers planted cow parsnip seeds in containers and learned about native plant propagation. Germination success is about 25 percent due to possibly old seed stock and squirrel predation. The organization will be back in the winter to plant out the seedling they started. A photo of Tim Pine working with a group of campers and a counselor in the Nursery is below. Recently installed is a timer controlled overhead mist emitter system that operates twice a day to ensure moisture for the seeds and seedlings. System is functioning well.
