After throwing the homecoming dance for the school at a location other than campus, I was disappointed to see that the university campus hosting the dance did not offer plastic recycling. I spoke with the catering manager and was inform that the particular plastic used was not recyclable in our area anymore. After the discussion, I suggested moving to paper cups or reusable cups for future events. I was disappointed in this and feel that we left a large carbon footprint this weekend because of the dance.

I was able to recycle all of the decorations and paper used.
