Our multidisciplinary team is composed of representatives from the academic, clinical, and administrative departments and our mission statement is the following: We at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (MNI/H) are committed to providing a working milieu that meets with the current environmental standards of our society. In striving to preserve and to protect the Environment as best we can, we will engage in the continual evaluation of our environmental policies and their implementation. Our standards are modeled from, and supplement those of our partner institutions, McGill University and the McGill University Health Centre. Together, we will persist in our role as educators, to teach and encourage members of the MNI/H community to espouse environmentally responsible attitudes and practices such as reducing, re-using, and recycling materials whenever possible. Understanding that our current paper recycling program has not been ideal, our first priority has been to re-assess this program in order to provide you with an efficient system in paper collection. Working closely with the MUHC, the goal is to commence a new mandate in the Fall of 2007. Your co-operation as a user will be needed in the form of 1) initiation/provision of ideas and 2) active participation and motivation to think green! Further details and guidelines will be provided in the near future; in the intervening time, please forward any comments and/or suggestions to Joyce Chen (Chair, Think Green Recycling Committee, graduate student representative) at joyce.chen at mail.mcgill.ca. Once the paper program is successfully running, we will endeavour to look into other issues that have been brought to our attention such as the recycling of glass, metals, and plastics. Thank you for your patience and support. Joyce Chen Chair, Think Green Recycling Committee and Natasha Lalibert?
