Boulevard has teamed with LaFarge to in an attempt to become zero landfill.
like to see the same level of social pressure put on smokers applied to those who don't recycle. If individuals were forced to think more about recycling — by increasing the number of recycling bins on campus, for example — Gibson said they'd be more likely to do so.
Gibson then recorded the weight and volume of trash in each bin. She
recorded that 187,55 pounds, or 85 percent, was food waste and compostable materials, such as napkins and paper plates, from Boulevard's hospitality rooms alone.
Gibson and Williams agreed that creating a more conscientious recycling culture at the brewery would be one of the most challenging obstacles to achieving zero landfill. Employees will no longer be allowed to simply throw everything into a trash can.
Gibson, who spent most of the two-hour audit frantically writing notes on her clipboard, will present Boulevard with a final report in October. Laurie Williams, logistics manager for Boulevard, will use the report to determine where to place
Gibson, a graduate student from Prairie Village, had the chance to test her hypothesis at Boulevard Brewing Company on Friday afternoon. With plans to go zero landfill by the end of the year, the Kansas City, Mo., brewing company requested AWMA to perform a waste audit of its facilities. To achieve zero landfill, Boulevard must send minimal to no trash to the landfill. More than 20 volunteers, including seven KU students, sorted two and a half days worth of trash collected from every department at the brewery. The volunteers divided the 226 pounds of trash into 17 purple bins labeled as different recyclable and non-recyclable materials.
Instead of hauling it to a landfill, Boulevard will ship it to Lafarge's cement plant in Sugar Creek, Mo., located 10 miles northeast of Kansas City. Because cement is made at extremely high temperatures, the plant can burn almost anything as alternative fuel.
"The ideal thing is to have everybody get on board with it," Williams said. "It's just a learning process."

"You'll get to the point where nobody working here sees trash," Gibson said. "They'll only see energy."
Kurt Gerdes, education chairman for AWMA's Midwest section, said about half of the plant's fuel comes from alternative fuels such as the non-recyclable waste collected at Boulevard.

Students get chance to hear experts and discuss taboo topic

Ever wondered how much porn stars make? You can find out tonight at Salon Nouveau's first program of the school year, "XXX The Porn Industry," which is sponsored by the Commission on the
"I chose this topic because I find it fascinating how 'pornified' American culture has become," said Kaylyn Wright, Salon Nouveau coordinator.
Status of Women. Salon Nouveau is the commission's new program that includes interactive presentations and discussions every Monday night.
Wright will be the primary speaker at the event, but her voice won't be the only one heard. Discussions will happen throughout the presentation when students can voice their own opinions. Wright said
"It is my hope to present the topic in a neutral way and to allow people to draw their own conclusions about whether they are poor anti-porn," Wright said.
Not all students feel comfortable or have an interest in discussing porn.
the goal of the program wasn't to tell people what they should think about porn.
Kristen Vermire, a junior from Lenexa, said she thought the program sounded refreshing.
Erin Fauss, a freshman from Lenexa, said even though she wasn't opposed to the event, she wouldn't be going either.
"I'm not interested in learning
Salon Nouveau will cover a few topics, including a brief history of pornography, how performers' salaries are determined, what types of pornography exist, reasons why individuals get into porn industry, and a brief overview of feminist theories of pornography. There will also be a discussion on HIV testing in the world of pornography.

"I think it's a neat experience to be around people who aren't afraid
WIND
A new wind turbine is being installed in a rural area near New York City. This turbine will help reduce air pollution and generate clean energy.
The turbine is designed to be built on the side of a hill or mountain, using a series of wind turbines that rotate together. The turbine uses wind power to generate electricity from the wind.
The turbine is expected to be installed in the next few years, providing a renewable source of energy for the region. It will be an important part of the local energy supply.
For more information about wind turbines, please visit www.wind.org or contact your local utility company.
