October 2008 Fall Yard Waste Collections In this Months Newsletter... In This Newsletter More MSU Students Recycling Fall Yard Waste Collections Special Recycling Collections Bring in Tons Change-A-Light Day Successful Again November Holidays Affect Refuse/Recycling Schedule Transition to Easy Carts Smooth Useful Links Opt-In/Out & Manage Subscriptions More MSU Students Recycling More than 60 students recently signed up to participate in the City's curbside recycling program at a recycling forum held on campus. The forum provided information to students on recycling efforts by the University and City. About 200 students attended the event. Many students who cannot participate in the curbside program pledged to recycle at the City's two drop-off recycling sites. Students participating in the curbside program received a free curbside recycling bin thanks to a donation from Project Pride. Project Pride, the City's annual spring clean up and recycling event, donates remaining operational funds back to the City for environmental causes and beautification efforts.     Fall and Yard Waste Collections This time of year in Michigan is simply beautiful. The leaves are changing, the weather mild and there are numerous outdoor activities to participate in. For many East Lansing residents, its time to spruce up the yards, rake the leaves and finish harvesting the garden. Following is a brief summary of important fall yard waste collection program information: Regular curbside yard waste collections will run this fall through December 1. The remaining no-fee yard waste collection day is November 3. Bulk leaf collection started October 20 and will run through the week of November 24. Leaves and loose yard waste (excluding brush/limbs) can be raked to the curb for this collection. For details on fall yard waste programs, please visit the City?s web site at www.cityofeastlansing.com, call, call the 24-hour information number or call the Public Works Department at 337-9459. Special Recycling Containers Bring in Tons The City recently participated in two regional recycling events, an electronics collection and a book collection. The two events combined brought in nearly 35 tons (70,000 pounds) of material. Electronics were recycled by Valley City Recycling in Grand Rapids while books were either donated for reuse at local libraries or shredded for recycling. Change-A-Light Day Successful Again Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL's) bulbs were flying off the shelves again this year at local ACE Hardware stores who participated in the Change-A-Light Day campaign. Hundreds of bulbs were also sold at Urban Options here in East Lansing on October 2. The City passed a resolution proclaiming October 1 as Change-A-Light Day in East Lansing and urged residents and businesses to conserve energy by switching to ENERGY STAR rated appliances and bulbs. For its part, the City has been working on becoming more energy efficient for some time. The City first conducted energy audits on our buildings back in the late 90's. Since then, our facilities have become more energy efficient, saving money and reducing pollution. November Holidays Affect Refuse/Recycle Schedule The Department of Public Works (DPW) office will be closed on November 11 to observe Veteran's Day. However, refuse and recycling will be collected as scheduled on that day. There will be no bulk leaf collection. The DPW will also be closed on Thursday and Friday, November 27-28 for Thanksgiving. There will be no refuse or recycling collection on Thursday, the 27th. Thursday's and Friday's refuse and recycling will be collected on Friday, November 28th. There will be no bulk leaf collection either of these days. Transition to Easy Carts Smooth Residents have responded well to the City's amendment to the solid waste ordinance to require the use of City-issued Easy Carts or City-issued yellow trash bags for refuse disposal. The change to the ordinance, which passed in January, went into affect on October 1. As of the first week of October, more than 99% residents had made the transition smoothly to Easy Carts or yellow bags. An additional positive affect of the change is that many residents have ordered a recycling bin at the same time as they ordered their Easy Cart. Sanitation Division crews have noticed an increase in recycling participation as a result.

During this first year we have received positive feedback to this innovative approach to share with the community updates on one of the biggest redevelopment projects in Michigan. Every three months, our online newsletter reaches more than 300 subscribers, from MSU administrators, community leaders, interested residents, and MSU students. We thank you all for reading our newsletter and showing your continuous interest in the East Village project. Continuing the tradition of the first year, the East Village Newsletter will keep you informed with the newest information about this transformational project. Moreover, as the project is moving forward, we want to hear your comments and suggestions. We welcome your involvement! Exciting projects around the town With Pierce Education Properties engaged in Phase II of the Memorandum of Understanding and moving forward with the East Village project, it is appropriate to highlight some of the exciting developments taking place around the project area, in the East Lansing community and on the MSU campus. A series of redevelopment and improvement projects around the East Village are transforming the area into a regional destination. With new investments in downtown East Lansing and the expansion of world-class cultural and educational facilities at Michigan State University, the East Village area is a perfect location for redevelopment. The multiple synergies among the proposed project, the arts and cultural venues on campus, and vibrant downtown East Lansing will act further as a catalyst for strengthening the entire region. In the 21st century, East Lansing experiences an increased vitality of its downtown driven by new investments in new cultural venues, more housing opportunities, streetscape, and restaurants. Albert Place Condominiums - brings more people downtown At the Albert-Bailey intersection, the Stonehouse Village III redevelopment, dubbed Albert Place Condominiums is a five-story, mixed-use building containing 36 residential condominiums above a two-level, convenient and secured, 122-space parking ramp. The development is a result of a public-private partnership between the City of East Lansing and Stonehouse Village III, LLC, which, at completion, in August 2008, will include the first green roof in downtown East Lansing above the second level of the parking ramp. Brookfield Plaza renovation Brookfield Plaza has long been a popular commercial and retail center in East Lansing. In the last year, the owner undertook a series of architectural adjustments, exterior remodeling, and transportation upgrades in order to beautify this neighborhood shopping center and increase accessibility to bicyclists and walkers. City Center II Located west of Abbot Road in downtown East Lansing, the City Center II multi-use redevelopment project will dramatically transform that section of the downtown by bringing more housing opportunities new eateries, a boutique hotel, retail, office, and a performance arts space into the culturally-rich downtown and the Valley Court Park area,. City officials have partnered with Strathmore Development and the Wharton Center for Performing Arts to create a 400-seat auditorium, which will provide a sophisticated entertainment venue on the west side of downtown East Lansing. Driven by its vision for the 21st century, Michigan State University has been undertaking a series of projects which are strengthening its arts and cultural activities. Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum With the groundbreaking planned for fall 2008 and slated for completion in 2010, the new Eli and Edythe Broad Museum will be a premier venue for major exhibitions and collections on campus, at the corner of Grand River Avenue and Collingwood Drive. In 2007, with the considerable support of Eli and Edythe Broad, Michigan State University embarked on building a new world-class art museum on campus. The museum, designed by world-renowned Zaha Hadid, will not just increase the visibility of the university, but also it will bring national and international attention to the downtown and entire region. Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum Wharton Center for Performing Arts This spring, the Wharton Center for Performing Arts at Michigan State University embarked on its first major enhancement to the Center in 25 years. This expansion will help bolster the cultural and economic vitality of this community through expanded programs of artist residencies, distance learning opportunities, and statewide outreach. The new MSU Federal Credit Union Institute for Arts & Creativity, part of the expansion project, benefits from a $2.5 million gift from the Michigan State University Federal Credit Union. Residential College in Arts and Humanities In 2007, Michigan State University opened the new Residential College in the Arts and Humanities (RCAH) which combines interdisciplinary study, personalized attention, and multiple learning opportunities. The residential college, located in the Snyder-Phillips hall, across from the project area, includes also an art gallery and an auditorium-style performance room for recitals, films, theatrical performances, and classes. Project Map Legend West Village City Center II Albert Place Condominiums Eli and Edythe Broad Museum Residential College in Arts and Humanities East Village Brookfield Plaza Wharton Center for Performing Arts News from the project area: 2008 Cedar Fest The Cedar Village area has always had a history of disturbances, which have harmed the reputation of Michigan State University and the city of East Lansing. Organized as a regular party in the ’70s and ’80s, Cedar Fest had escalated into a riot in the next decades, given the Cedar Village area a reputation of partying and unruliness. On April 5, 2008, another disorderly event occurred as an estimated 3,000 to 4,000 people gathered within the 200 block of Cedar Street. For more information about this event, visit the the website created by the East Lansing Police Department. Cedar Fest Information  Recent Comments Here are some comments that we've received through the online comment form: “East Lansing and MSU are a great combination, but I just think that there are some parts in Grand River Ave. that look horrible and damage the image of the town itself. Also, Cedar Village should be demolished too. I am sure that many students, as me, support this idea. Cedar Village should be replaced by modern, better looking, apartments or houses for college students. The area could be developed in different ways that can prevent incidents and, still, accommodate college students.” (A MSU international student) “[P]lanning to open business establishment” (MSU employee) “Great entertainment before and after football/basketball games, my family owns a house just a few doors down from Grand River on Orchard. Daughters lived there while going to MSU...Michigan State deserves to have a vibrant shopping/dining/entertainment center close to campus....WOW...can hardly wait.” (MSU alumnus) Many members of our community have shared their opinions with us regarding the proposed project.  We welcome your involvement!  Fill out the form on the East Village Web site www.cityofeastlansing.com/eastvillage  and share your thoughts with us.

July 2008 Title!! In this Months Newsletter... In This Newsletter New Materials at Project Pride a Hit With Residents Emissions Inventory Update New Recycling Site Open Public - Private Partnership Replants Trees Downtown Cleaner Air and Fuller Wallets Useful Links Opt-In/Out & Manage Subscriptions New Materials at Project Pride a Hit With Residents Project Pride was once again a huge success with hundreds of East Lansing residents taking part in the annual event. In particular, residents were most pleased with the new items accepted at this year’s event –household electronics, boxboard and plastic pots/trays. Of all the items collected at Project Pride this year, electronics was the most popular. A steady stream of residents dropped off these items during the event. An amazing 21,371 pounds of electronics were collected for recycling. In total, Project Pride brought in nearly 84,000 pounds of items for reuse and recycling. Emissions Inventory Update City staff and MSU students have completed the green house gas emissions inventory for the year 2007. Data was entered into an emissions software database for City operations including such things as building energy use, fuel, transportation, etc. The data will be used by the East Lansing Commission on the Environment (COE) and City staff to begin drafting a Climate Change Action Plan for the City. The COE is currently gathering information for the plan and will begin putting together a draft at their July 21 meeting. New Recycling Site Now Open The City and the East Lansing School District have partnered to offer a new recycling drop off site. The site will be located across from the School Administration Building on Timberlane, just north of Burcham Drive on the City’s southeast side.  (See Map) Items accepted at this drop off site will include cardboard, boxboard, newspaper, mixed paper/junk mail, magazines, #1 & #2 Plastic bottles and Milk Jugs. Glass bottles, tin cans and aluminum cans/foil will not be accepted Public - Private Partnership Replants Trees Downtown Emerald Ash Borer has claimed more than 40 ash trees in the downtown area over the last couple of years. The last of the dead ash in tree pits on the north side of Grand River were removed this past winter. Because of the trees location in tree pits, removal and replacement was difficult and expensive. With the City's urban forestry budget already strained due to dead ash tree removals, alternative funding sources were needed. Cron Management, LLC, which manages buildings in the downtown, stepped up with a significant financial contribution toward the project. The City utilized this funding source along with City funds to apply for a Urban and Community Forestry Grant through the State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The public/private partnership made the grant application more appealing and the City was awarded a grant for the project. A total of 20 trees were planted in the downtown this spring. Almost half of the funding for the project was provided by Cron Management and the DNR grant. These trees will provide numerous environmental and aesthetic benefits for years to come Cleaner Air and Fuller Wallets Guest Column: Following is an article originally published in May of this year by Rachael Kuntzsch, Executive Director of Greater Lansing Area Clean Cities Coalition (GLACCC). The City of East Lansing is a member of GLACCC. As we crawl out of our Midwestern hibernation and shed our winter gear for flip-flops and vacations, we also have an opportunity to exchange our old habits of transportation for new economically and environmentally smart decisions. With a summer spike in already high gas prices, there are several strategies to keep in mind that can help save money, reduce our dependency on foreign oil, and work to protect our environment. From cars to semi-trucks, several billion gallons of fuel are wasted each year while introducing huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere—just from idling. A good rule of thumb is to turn off your vehicle after more than one minute of idling to help prevent excessive emissions as well as lower damage your car suffers from residue buildup during idling. When starting your vehicle, you’ll only need a few seconds for the oil to cycle through in order to warm it up properly. Limiting daily idling by avoiding remote starters, especially in warm months, opting to walk into the store rather than waiting in endless drive thru lines, and turning your car off while waiting for trains or picking up kids from activities are small steps we can take every day to reduce greenhouse gases significantly and to save on fuel. While commonly overlooked, paying attention to tire pressure can help increase gas mileage by 0.4 percent per 1 pound per square inch (psi) of the recommended pressure. This means if your tires are low by 10 psi, inflating them to the proper level will give you 4% better gas mileage. Consideration of our driving habits can help improve fuel economy while decreasing our dependency on foreign oil as well. Gentle acceleration instead of aggressive pounding on the gas pedal can yield anywhere from 5 percent to 33 percent better gas mileage. When thinking about transportation, we often overlook the option of taking advantage of our beautiful Michigan summer by choosing to ride bikes or walk instead of driving. Not only will we avoid excessive spending on fuel and limit pollution, but we’ll also burn calories, and experience our communities from the other side of our air-conditioned car doors. Considering alternative commute options such as carpooling, or taking advantage of the bus system will encourage a sense of community as we share in the reduction of emissions into the atmosphere. Even simple efforts like combining errands, telecommuting, or conference calling in place of traveling for meetings can help reduce our suffocating dependency on fuel. Personal decisions about our vehicles like considering synthetic oil designed to improve fuel economy and choosing low rolling resistance tires will result in responsible use of our vehicles--both decreasing emissions as well as improving fuel economy. If we are mindful of the way we use our vehicles, we will be able to reduce significantly the damage we are doing to them, as well as to the environment. This summer, by working to keep our cars, lungs, and community healthier, we’ll also keep our wallets a little fuller while sharing in the betterment of our environment and community. GLACC is a coalition of stakeholders working to achieve cleaner air and energy security in mid-Michigan through alternative fuel and vehicle usage, and fuel economy practices. Stakeholders include fleets, corporations, nonprofit organizations, utilities, local governments, and individuals. www.michigancleancities.org  Useful Links Recycling Services Special Collections Yard Waste Pickup Request Form Waste Collection Routes Collection Fees Spring/Summer 07 Curbside Journal Copyright 2008, City of East Lansing

The event is similar to the many “DeJunking Days” or “Community Cleanup” days held in other communities in the region. However, we place greater emphasis on reuse and recycling opportunities rather than disposal. As a result, a majority of the items brought to Project Pride do not end up in the landfill. In fact, last year we recycled or donated for reuse over 39 tons of material and disposed of less than 6 tons. Therefore, 87% of the material brought into Project Pride was diverted from the landfill. The event is organized by the Project Pride Planning Committee which is a composed primarily of East Lansing residents and City staff. Project Pride is a non-profit entity which uses money collected at the event to offset disposal and operational fees. Project Pride donates any remaining funds to the City for environmental projects.

Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - East Lansing Curbside Journal - Earthday 2008

Earth Day 2008 Special Earth Day On-Line Newsletter In this Months Newsletter... In This Newsletter The Origins of Earth Day Celebrate Arbor Day April 2 Re-Think, Re-Cycle Green Purchasing Power Know Your Footprint Think Before You Act You to Can Make It Happen Green Your Lawn This Spring Opt-In/Out & Manage Subscriptions Thanks! Thank you for taking the time to read this special Earth Day edition of the on-line curbside Journal. We hope you find it educational and that it inspires you to take more action at home and in our community. Celebrate Arbor Day April 25 Help the City celebrate Arbor Day once again this year. Plant a tree, take a nature walk through one of our many parks and enjoy trees and natural areas. The City has been named a “Tree City USA” by the National Arbor Day Foundation for the 21st straight year. This year we have donated a tree to each of the East Lansing Elementary schools to celebrate Arbor Day. Visit the Foundations web site at www.arborday.org  to learn about the importance of trees in our community. The Origins of Earth Day In the early 60’s, Democratic Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin was concerned about the lack of political attention environmental issues were receiving. Nelson wrote “For several years, it had been troubling me that the state of our environment was simply a non-issue in the politics of our country.” Nelson came up with an idea to persuade President Kennedy to embark on a national conservation tour to give visibility to the issue. The President agreed with the idea and in September of 1963 President Kennedy began a five-day, eleven-state conservation tour. Unfortunately, the tour did not succeed in putting the issue at the political forefront. For the next several years Senator Nelson continued to discuss environmental issues across the nation. He saw that although citizens were concerned over environmental degradation, politicians weren’t. In 1969, Nelson noticed the effectiveness of grassroots anti- war demonstrations called “teach-ins.” According to the Senator “Suddenly, the idea occurred to me – why not organize a huge grassroots protest over what was happening to our environment?” He did just that by announcing that in that in the spring of 1970 there would be a nationwide grassroots demonstration on behalf of the environment. He invited everyone to participate. According to Nelson, the wire services picked up on the story and “the response was electric.” Earth Day was born. The first year, more than 20 million people took part in activities. We continue to observe Earth Day on April 22 of each year thanks to Senator Nelson, his staff and numerous volunteers who helped make it happen. A brief biography on the remarkably life of Senator Nelson can be found at www.wilderness.org/AboutUs/Nelson_Bio.cfm You to Can Make It Happen Being “green” these days is getting easier. There has been significant attention paid to environmental issues recently by everyone from the Pope to corporate America….and even many politicians. There are more opportunities today than there ever has been. Make it happen by starting on Earth Day to change your habits. Take a look at some ideas below. Re-Think, Re-Cycle Don’t throw a good thing away! Many items that you dispose in your Easy Cart should be recycled. East Lansing households divert at least 25% of our waste (including yard waste) from the landfill. We can do better. Although you can’t directly compare it for various reasons (i.e. our bottle bill) the national average is 32.5% Take advantage of the City’s curbside and drop off recycling program, our many regional collections and special recycling events. Here’s a list of those this spring: ELROW Food Drive – April 28 – May 9 Pack Up, Pitch In – May 1 & 2 (for off campus MSU Students only) Computer and Electronics Recycling Collection – May 3 Seasonal Phone Book Recycling – June 1 - Sept. 1 at drop off site & Aug. 12-15 curbside Project Pride – May 31 Green Purchasing Power Retailers are starting to pay attention to the environmental movement. Just a couple of years ago, you almost never saw anyone bring their own bag to put their groceries in. Now, almost every store offers canvas tote bags for your groceries or many people bring their grocery bags back for reuse. Other products such as green cleaning products are popping up on shelves as well. For example, Clorox has a line of natural cleaning products called Green Works Natural Cleaners and Meijer has a similar line as well. These products are generally made from plants and minerals rather than petroleum based products. Know Your Footprint Your carbon footprint is a measure of the impact you have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide. There are many web sites now that can help you track your footprint and provide practical solutions for reducing your impact. One example is the The Nature Conservancy web site at: www.nature.org/initiatives/climatechange/calculator Think Before You Act How many times do you “run to the store quick” to pick up something you want? Several small trips during the week can add up to a lot of pollution, and with today’s gas prices, a lot of cost as well. Take a minute in your everyday life to try to think of better ways to act toward the environment. If you think about it, you can really improve by just using your brain power. Green Your Lawn This Spring There are several ways to keep your lawn looking green while being green. The City has developed a guide for homeowners which discusses composting, mulching, “earth friendly” fertilizers and more.

April 2008 Take Advantage of Spring Reuse and Recycling Events!! In this Months Newsletter... In This Newsletter Recycling Events Document Destruction Day Computer & Electronics Recycling Project Pride Climate Protection News Pilot Boxboard Program City Named "Tree City USA" Emerald Ash Borer Update Let's Celebrate Earth Day!! Useful Links Opt-In/Out & Manage Subscriptions Pilot Boxboard Program a Success Residents are eagerly recycling boxboard at the DPW drop off site and the temporary site at Patriarche Park. So far, we have collection about 15 tons or 30,000 pounds. There were some issues early on with improper items being deposited in the containers. However, better signage and education have mostly resolved them. Due to this success, the City plans to continue to accept boxboard indefinitely and is looking into ways we can collect it curbside. Celebrate Earth Day and Arbor Day, April 22 & 25 Celebrate these important days by doing something “green.” Consider increasing your recycling, choosing to ride a bike or walk to the store, planting a tree or whatever you see fit. Look for more ideas in an upcoming special Earth Day publication of the C.J.

Project Pride - Mark your calendar for this years PP event to be held on Saturday, May 31. New items this year include plastic plant pots/trays and electronics recycling. Much more will be posted on this event in April. Climate Protection News The City continues to move forward with its emissions inventory of global climate change pollutants. With the assistance of MSU students, we are currently entering data into our software database which will calculate emissions from City operations/facilities. We hope to have the inventory completed by late spring. At that point, City staff and the Commission on the Environment will develop an action plan for reducing our emissions. The action plan should take 3-4 months to develop. City Named “Tree City USA” by Arbor Day Foundation The City has once again been honored by the Arbor Day Foundation for our efforts at preserving and enhancing our urban forest. The City has received this recognition for the past 21 years. Properly managing the urban forest is becoming a real challenge due to invasive species such as the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). This borer is well on its way to killing most of the City’s ash tree population which will seriously strain the City’s urban forest budget. Because of this, we have been aggressively seeking supplemental funding for forestry projects. So far this fiscal year, we have received two grants from the State to help plant trees in our community. One grant is partially funding the removal and replacement of ash trees in the downtown area. The other is providing low cost trees to residents of the community. These trees can be planted in the public street right of way or on private property and will help homeowners recover tree canopy lost to dying ash trees. Status of Emerald Ash Borer(EAB) in City Emerald Ash Borer is present across the City. Based on the level of infestation and the resulting symptoms that were visible last year, it looks like we will start to see significant die off of trees this summer. If you have an ash tree that you want to save, it may be too late if it is already infested. There are a lot of resources that can help you make that decision.

My classmates and I are all doing a lot of thinking about the future (with the opportunity to take our degrees and make a living anywhere in the world, there is so much to daydream about) and I strongly believe that the proposed development will move East Lansing to the front of the queue of places for alumni to live and work. My wife and I talk a lot about where we see ourselves in 20 years, and as we've seen the East Village plans unfold, the prospect of someday returning to East Lansing has become more of a focus of our conversations. We are beginning to see East Lansing as a city that is pursuing progress, civic improvement, and as a (potentially) very cool place to someday call "home". I hope very much that the plans to redevelop the East Village area will go forward and that the city council will continue to have a positive attitude toward commercial development.” (MSU medical student) “Looking to possibly buy condo in 4-5 years in East Lansing area. Interested in living close to campus, assuming it doesn't become the next Cedar Village” (MSU alumnus) “The entertainment, commercial development and residential values of the riverfront property can provide tax revenue for East Lansing residents.” (East Lansing resident and MSU alumnus) Many members of our community have shared their opinions with us regarding the proposed project.  We welcome your involvement!  Fill out the form on the East Village Web site www.cityofeastlansing.com/eastvillage  and share your thoughts with us.

February 2008 Restoration of our Trees  -  Student Move-Out Recycling In this Months Newsletter... In This Newsletter Purchase Trees Through ROOT Program Students Urged to Recycle Instead of Dispose During Move-out Residents Eligible to Purchase Trees Through ROOT Program The City of East Lansing was chosen again this year to participate in the Restoration of Our Trees Program (ROOT). The Purpose of the program is to provide homeowners the opportunity to purchase landscape trees at a reduced cost to restore tree canopy cover in areas where Emerald Ash Borer has killed ash trees. The Michigan ROOT Program is a public-private partnership between the Office of the Governor, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, USDA Forest Service - State & Private Forestry, Michigan Department of Agriculture, DTE Energy Foundation and the City of East Lansing. Residents in the 21 EAB quarantined counties are eligible to purchase up to 2 trees per household at a cost of $21 each. The City of East Lansing will have a total of 250 trees available for purchase. Available trees include Sugar Maple Ginko, Red Oak River Birch Dawn Redwood London Planetree Swamp White Oak Tulip Tree Due to overwhelming demand, trees sold through the City of East Lansing will be available through a random drawing. When all applications have been received, applicants will be randomly selected until the inventory of trees has been sold out. For complete information on the program, including the tree order form, please visit the City’s web site at : http://www.cityofeastlansing.com/CITYGOV/WORKS/Root.asp  Students Urged to Recycle Instead of Dispose During Move-out Students eager to head home for the summer often stuff trash bags and haul unwanted items to the curb for disposal. The City sees a significant increase in trash at the curb during this time of the year. Many items disposed are in good condition and can be reused or recycled. That is why the City and University are teaming up to urge students to participate in the Pack-Up, Pitch In program. Through this program, off-campus students living in East Lansing can drop off carpet, clothing, shoes, electronic waste, food and sofas for reuse and recycling. Items you may drop-off for reuse and Recycling Carpet Clothing Shoes Electronic waste Food Sofas Drop-off  Location Hannah Community Center north overflow parking lot (For a map Click Here) Drop-off  Dates Thursday and Friday, May 1 and 2 Drop-off  Times 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. More detailed information on the program will be placed on the City’s web site in the upcoming weeks and students will receive information through e-mails, flyers placed in curbside recycling bins and through their landlords.

January 2007 New Year’s Green Resolutions In this Months Newsletter... In This Newsletter New Year’s Green Resolutions City Looks to Make Big Environmental Impact in 2008 Revisions to Solid Waste Ordinance Modernize Neighborhood Trash Collection Opt-In/Out & Manage Subscriptions City EasyCart New Year’s Green Resolutions The new year is here and its time for your annual resolutions. This year consider trying some “green” resolutions. Here are some suggestions that may slim your waist, fatten your wallet and conserve our resources:   Purchase ENERGY STAR products. ENERGY STAR is a program developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and US Department of Energy (DOE). It identifies products that meet strict energy efficiency guidelines. Americans who purchased ENERGY STAR products in 2006 saved enough energy to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 25 million cars — all while saving $14 billion on their utility bills. Visit their web site at www.energystar.gov  for more information. Plant a tree. Emerald Ash Borer is beginning to devastate the ash tree population in the East Lansing area. About 10% of our urban street tree population or 850 ash trees will be lost to EAB in the next few years. Countless more trees will be lost in our parks and residents yards. Turn off your computer. The US Department of Energy recommends the following: Turn off your monitor if you won’t be using it for more than 20 minutes Turn off your PC if you aren’t going to use it for more than 2 hours.  Enable the power-down feature on your PC through your operating system software. This will automatically reduce power used by the computer when it is not in use. Finally, screen savers are not energy savers and can use as much power as a running PC. Modern LCD monitors don’t need screen savers. Buy reusable shopping bags. Many local stores such as Meijer and Goodrich Shop Rite sell canvas tote bags that are handy and durable for groceries. According to the EPA, Americans consume about 380 billion plastic bags, sacks and wraps a year, while fewer than five percent are recycled. Walk or ride instead of drive. The next time you have to run to the store or over to a friends house, consider walking or riding your bike instead of hopping in your car. Use your muscle power instead of your engines horsepower and you will save gas money and be healthier.     City Looks to Make Big Environmental Impact in 2008 This year is shaping up to be a big year for the City in terms of environmental programs. Building on our achievements from 2007, following are some of the initiatives we will be working on: Working on completing a green house gas inventory for City operations and drafting an emissions reduction action plan to reduce global warming pollutants. – Road Studying new products and services to add to our recycling program, including the possibility of accepting boxboard curbside. Adding new products for collection at Project Pride. Studying the feasibility of installing alternative energy generation at the Department of Public Works facility. Collecting PET plastic bottles at some of the City’s major events and parks such as the Aquatics Center and Soccer and Softball Complexes. Sponsoring a Document Destruction Day to help residents properly recycle sensitive documents. Partnering with MSU to increase recycling opportunities for off campus students during move in and move out times. Partnering with local businesses to help us promote our recycling program as well as recycling services offered by local businesses. Establish a new recycling drop off site. Tree planting programs. The City will be aggressively seeking grant funding and other funding opportunities to help us cope with the affects of Emerald Ash Borer including incentives and programs for our residents. These are just a few of the many programs, services and initiatives we hope to implement this year. Stay tuned to the Curbside Journal to track our progress and learn about the changes we have in store! Revisions to Solid Waste Ordinance Modernize Neighborhood Trash Collection In an effort to modernize and simplify neighborhood trash collection, City Council recently adopted Ordinance 1189 which will require owners of single-family and two-family households to purchase City Easy Carts or yellow City trash bags for refuse collection. The newly adopted requirements will create a neater appearance in East Lansing neighborhoods, provide residents with trash receptacles that are tamper resistant to animals and allow the Department of Public Works (DPW) to perform trash collection more efficiently. In addition, the DPW anticipates less work-related injuries under the new guidelines. The ordinance goes into effect as follows: March 1, 2008 - On and after March 1, 2008 all residents who purchase a single- or two-family household in East Lansing will be required to purchase an Easy Cart for trash collection. October 1, 2008 - On and after October 1, 2008 all East Lansing residents living in single- or two-family households will be required to use an Easy Cart and/or yellow trash bags with the City seal for trash collection. Black trash bags, metal cans and other rigid plastic containers will no longer be accepted at this time.
