Straw Forward: We wrapped up plastic straw collections last week and are now working toward cleaning the remainder to begin the build-out phase of the art sculpture that will be publicly displayed here in town beginning in January. Since many of you had businesses participating in your communities, I’ll keep you all updates on this next phase, but we can halt recruitment for businesses to participate in Straw Forward collections if you’ve been actively helping to recruit. There are some great partnerships we’re building to gather other recovered plastic-based items over 30 participating establishments who’ve helped us gather tens of thousands of straws. It’s been quite the ride.
 
Business District Toolkits: Those materials are in the design phase and will be much easier to access, understand, and put to good use than we’ve had for you all previously. We’re also stepping into the 21st century and creating online versions for the forms restaurants need to access for their sustainable project improvements, so that will make it easier on everyone. Once these toolkits are finalized, we’re going to arrange for an end of workday session somewhere fun to buy you all some snacks, review the materials, answer any questions you have, and practice some mock restaurant introductions. In the meantime, please do let us know if there is anything we can do to provide or support you with your efforts until these new and improved tools are ready.
