In an effort to educate students about different ways of recycling, Students for Bar Recycling will host a panel discussion, “Three Cheers to the Environment” at 7 tonight at the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center.
The group is part of the organization From Blue to Green: Conserve KU. Andrew Stanley, president of Students for Bar Recycling, said the event would feature three speakers: Nicko Susso, who started a campaign called Sustainability is Sexy; John McDonald, owner of Boulevard Brewing Company, and Kathy Richardson, operation supervisor of recycling and waste reduction in Lawrence.
Stanley said they would discuss what students could do to be more sustainable and ways that bars and businesses could reduce the amount of waste they produced.
“Nicko will be talking about what students can do, John will talk about what businesses can do and Kathy will talk about what the city can do,” Stanley said.
Stanley also suggested simple ways that students could reduce the amount of waste they produced.
“At coffee shops on campus you can bring your own mug and get a discount,” Stanley said. “You can buy beer on tap instead of buying beer in a bottle which is thrown away.”
