Today was bittersweet - the office celebrated pi day with a delicious assortment of fruit pies from Bliss & Co. Cupcakes and Desserts. They were a pretty incredible precursor to one of the workshops that we ran today, focused on campus dining. This is one of my favourite workshop topics not just because I enjoy food A LOT but because I think it is one of the most interesting topics in sustainability. Everyone in the room engaged in lots of lively debates about the pros and cons of eating 'local' or what the definition of 'local' even means in a food purchasing context. In light of San Francisco's recent water bottle ban we also talked about logistics of bottle-banning and what it would mean in a campus context. I can't share everything about what goes on behind-the-scenes, but I can say I always find it really interesting to hear all the different opinions and love being able to have people from all experience levels or departments on campus coming together to talk about these very real ideas. And farmer's markets....I love farmer's markets.
The sadder part of the day came upon hearing that one of our co-workers recently submitted their resignation letter. While I am super excited for them to grow and enjoy life outside the office, we will certainly miss them and it's always a loss to lose a great person who never ceases to make everyone's day. 
With that being said, here is this week's song swap, on time!

Lil Wayne - Movement
Spacehog - In The Meantime
Rhye - Last Dance
Junip - In Every Direction (White Sea Remix)
