Today was an awesome day. Today was the ninth annual Change The Status Quo conference on Cal Poly campus. I woke up early and got to campus to do yoga, then breakfast was served. All plates, cups, and plasticware was compostable and all of the food was local and organic. The keynote speaker was the lady behind "The Story Of Stuff" and the workshops i went to were all really informative, engaging, and fun. I had a blast.
The first workshop I went to was about Life Water and their redesign of the hand water pump used extensively in Africa and rural asia. It was really interesting and I connected with the guy, Fred, afterwards and he gave me some PVC pipe and a galvanized tube that actually gets used and wants me to help him design a better seal for it (The weakest link in the hand pump design) So cool!
Anyways, the "waste" for today was some cream cheese containers, some brochures, a pamphlet, compostable food waste, and a plastic baggy.
