Best Practices - Environmental

[Cynette]

As an Environmental Engineer, I'd like to help my team to develop a formal Environmental Program. But rather than start from scratch, I'd like to hear about other teams and their efforts to include environmental sustainability into their team activities.

Like most teams, we do some of the basics:
Collect collect cans and bottles to return - but that is altruistic since it is a fundraiser as well.
Participate in the town wide clean-up days - we have our own section of town that we clean every year.
Recycle the pants from our team uniforms into the fabric for our bumpers (red camo denim fabric can be challenging to find!)

There was a thread earlier this year, http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=73096, but it seemed to focus mostly on reusing parts when building the robot.

How has your team "gone green" and what are the results? What has worked and what has not worked?
