Topics for Discussion

  1. META and MEM Grant: Janice said the money won’t be here in time, and the logistics of applying make it not worth pursuing.
  1. Styrofoam Recycling We discussed various funding ideas, and who is responsible for what. We decided that this is a volunteer effort beyond the scope of the Building and Energy Committee. People on the committee will continue to work on the project with other people in the community. Amy Donovan, from the Solid Waste District, sent out more information to the Transfer Station Committee and the WBEC during the meeting.
  1. Climate Leader Community: We discussed and wrote an article on the Climate Leader Community initiative that will be published in the Warwick Community Newsletter. Emily will send a Word document version to Mary.

Meeting adjourned 5:09 p.m.

Next meeting: We will be setting the time for the next meeting through a computerized system devised by Stephen Kurkoski, in about 2 weeks.
