We don't have everything figured out yet, but are just about to release a preliminary report. Stay tuned. We’ve learned a lot over the course of the Heatsheet recycling pilot project.

My husband brought one home (Heatsheet) from the SF Half Marathon this summer and was excited that it had a little recycling symbol. Unfortunately, I had to burst his bubble by telling him that while the sheets might technically be recyclable, there was not way to recycle them where we live. That stuff can't go in our curbside bins. So it's exciting that you are working on a way to see that they get recycled. I'd love to keep up with this issue. Beth This is exciting news.

Do most of us really need all the crap... um... I mean well-intentioned stuff... that is thrown at us at not only athletic events but conferences and festivals? Probably not. I personally am in the habit of foregoing the goodie bags. Or else taking out the few items of value and handing the rest back. I've been working on finding ways to cut my plastic consumption and plastic waste for over a year and documenting the process at <a href="http://www.fakeplasticfish.com" rel="nofollow">www.fakeplasticfish.com</a>, and refusing unnecessary free stuff is one of the methods for doing just that.

Suffice it to say that Peggy got her question answered. FYI, there is a great thread about this topic on the Road Race Management Forum (http://www.rrm.com/forum/showthread.php?t=219).
