E-Waste at City College

Last night we had a very important Board of Trustees meeting at City College, and it lasted 6 hours--until almost 2:00 a.m.! 

You can read about the meeting from the beginning

to the end.

There were two newspaper articles because the meeting ran so late that Nanette Asimov had to get in one article before the end of the meeting so it could make the presses for the morning edition.

During the "intermission" of the drama, I took my e-waste--four print cartridges and a fluorescent light bulb--to the e-waste.  There wasn't an e-waste place in the MUB building, so I went to the student union building, which was locked. 

But then I discovered an e-waste disposal place right outside the building.  How smart!

I had thought that the meeting itself might be toxic, but somehow people rose above venom even though the cuts to our program have been hazardous.

This just in:

Fui a traer el BMW a Millbrae y aproveche la oportunidad para ir a Trader Joe"s, comprar abarrotes y usar la bolsa.Te mostrare las fotos manana. 

That's from a message from Javier, who picked up his four-door car in Millbrae, where he had the chance to go shopping at Trader Joe's and put his own bag to use.  (That was the homework assignment I gave him to do for my Life Style Project.  I'm supposed to be reforming him among other things.  Bravo, Javier

  1. Here's to non toxic interactions between living and nonliving components in the environment (Board meeting included) and getting the students to change behaviors!

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
