Thanks to Good Day Oregon on KPTV channel 12 and to Andy Carson with cameraman Mike Heinrich for coming out this morning to Roots Organic Brewing and talking with us about Organic Beer, the NAOBF, and efforts in Sustainable practices. Cheers!

Thanks to speaker Eric Crum from PSU’s Center for Urban Studies, who met with some of this years Recycling Czars on Monday evening, for discussing what products can be and cannot be recycled or composted.

The festivals vendors are required to serve food with compostable utensils and containers, but Recycling Czars should be on the lookout for items brought in by attendees that are neither compostable or recyclable, “When in doubt, throw it out.”

Its great to see people interested in Recycling, Composting and gaining awareness about new products, like the festivals compostable cornstarch cups, that do not need to go to the Landfill. Single use products are changing and its up to us to educate each other. With the smallest effort we can improve our environment and our health.
