I just received an inquiry about how much the
fast food industry contributes to the waste stream.
Does anyone have some data handy? Please
reply directly to me, as I receive the digest version
of Greenyes and won't see a general response until
tomorrow. Thanks!

Here's what we have on fast food waste:
Carol Shanklin of Kansas State U gave a talk at NRC a couple years back and
cited several other studies. This included waste generation averages for
several types of foodservice operations. Fast food was listed at 52%
packaging and 34% food waste (by wt). Total pounds generated per meal served
wasn't listed for fast food (as it was for other categories) but our
experience with a number of sorts suggests that 1/10 lb per meal is roughly
accurate. This has been confirmed for us informally by Bob Langert,
environment guy for McDonalds.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Simply deplorable
If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow
that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys
deranged, models deposed and dry cleaners depressed?
Laundry workers could decrease, eventually becoming depressed
and depleted! Even more, bedmakers will be debunked, baseball
players will be debased, landscapers will be deflowered, bulldozer
operators will be degraded, organ donors will be delivered, software
engineers will be detested, the BVD company will be debriefed, and
even musical composers will eventually decompose.
On a more positive note though, perhaps we can hope politicians will be
devoted.

Does anyone have information on waste comp studies at sports facilities
(arenas, stadiums) or recycling, source reduction, composting, recycled
content purchasing at arenas or stadiums. I'd appreciate receiving info
on
all of the above topics and would be happy to share once it is compiled.
Thanks.
