Recycling?

McCormick Place had instituted a new recycling program for Greenbuild, but it had it's problems. Many lunches came in a cardboard boxes with compostable silverware and the like - pretty cool, but the bins were too small for the box lunches and the bins just filled up so quickly that it was ridiculous. There was a similar attempt on drinking water, no bottled water was provided, but you got a (ugly) reusable bottle with your registration material and there were strategically placed iced water jugs throughout - of course these emptied out so quickly that they became sort of a cruel hoax - you would be thirsty and head for one, grab a cup if you didn't have your bottle and find the jug empty and of course the adjacent one too.
