Résumé
The University of British Columbia (UBC) has been one of the leaders in sustainable practices on university campuses across Canada. Over the past few years, UBC has been working towards becoming a zero waste campus. One of the most limiting factors that is working against the overarching goal of becoming zero waste, is the fee structure that is currently in use for ancillary buildings hosted on campus. The fee structure charges ancillary buildings less for disposing of their garbage waste stream, than their organics waste stream. This provides an internal incentive for buildings to dispose of more garbage than organics to minimize their bottom line. In order to eliminate this disincentive program, the fee structure needs to be reevaluated. It is essential to focus on industry best practices before introducing a new fee structure on UBC campus, because ancillary buildings are able to opt out of UBC waste management in order to use a private waste disposal company. There are a number of cities and university campuses who have set applicable precedent when it comes to waste management practices, including the fee structures used in specific jurisdictions. San Francisco, Seattle, City of Vancouver, University of Western Ontario and the University of Victoria were all investigated in order to establish some industry best practices for achieving zero waste. Within the municipalities, residential waste collection rates were analyzed for trends that would incentivize zero waste practices. San Francisco has in place a discounting model that offers a decrease in rates for customers with a higher waste diversion rate, which has proven to be effective. Seattle offers discounts for bulk waste disposal of each of their waste streams, with the exception of recycling which is free pickups for residents. The City of Vancouver – including Burnaby – has limited garbage disposal to a biweekly pickup schedule, while maintaining their weekly organics and recycling pickups. Universities have introduced a number of educational programs on campuses to encourage students to take an active role in waste management on campus. The new model proposes offering a discount to buildings that have higher waste diversion rates, based on the size of the bins of different streams of waste. In order to effectively introduce this strategy, more metrics should be measured in monthly waste audits. The introduction of barcodes on waste disposal bins should allow for measures of each waste stream to be simple and inexpensive, as only scanning and tracking technology would need to be purchased. As well, there will be an immediate decrease in garbage pickups, inspired by Vancouver and Burnaby reducing the garbage pickups to a biweekly manner. Thirdly, fines for high rates of contamination should be introduced, especially for that of contaminated organics bins. The combination of the above three processes should advance the movement of UBC campus towards zero waste. Moving forwards, it is essential to recognize that the industrial composting machinery is reaching the end of its life. In order to replace the machine, research must be conducted to ensure that UBC purchases the most efficient industrial composter. As well, more educational programming should be rolled out to the primary waste sorters on campus – the students – in order to increase the waste diversion rate and decrease the contamination in all the waste streams.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
