Hi folks, I sat this morning before breakfast in the noisy hacklab. While I have seen more dirty places than this before I have seen several cups from plastic at each table. Our kind Brasilian hosts did a great job to give us two differently sized cups to avoid wasting plastic in general. If you really, really have no access to these cups that should be available for you please simply please so kind to your fellow DebConf attendees and may be more importantly to the people from the hotel who need to clean up the room (I observed a woman patiently collecting our rubish) and simply cleanup behind yourself. Its a matter of style to save your "local environment" at least if you do not manage to care for the global environment and avoid plastic in general.
For those who keep on using one time usage plastic I'd like to recommend this movie https://vimeo.com/264508490 I wonder whether the organisers might be able to send a message into the opposite direction: Some women from the hotel used some kind of air-refreshment-spray containing some kind of perfume to make a "fresh" smell. This also seems to happen in the rooms. I think opening windows is a better means than some chemicals that might cause allergies (in my case I had slightly burning eyes) and in the end we again have plastic bottles thrown away after the useless chemicals are sprayed around. I wonder whether organisers could propagate that message which even would save personal-hours and money for the hotel. Thank you Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
