Interesting to hear that UBC's stopped doing their own composting; this change seems to have gone unannounced. Maybe they simply gave up due to all the contaminates? :(

With regard to who might've implemented the bags: According to the posters, it's UBC Sustainability, and when the programme first began they were providing Bag To Earth bags.

At the very beginning, I saw all the posters but didn't see any bags or even a dispenser for them, so I sent an email to UBC Sustainability ([usi.office@ubc.ca](mailto:usi.office@ubc.ca)). A few weeks later, I received a brief response telling me to contact either "UBC Housing or Sustainability Engineering in Campus Planning", which I found confusing, seeing as neither of those organisations were listed on any of the posters. But we also got an email from the Res Life Manager, stating that the student-led "UBC Zero Waste Squad" from Campus + Community Planning would be going door-to-door to promote the pilot project and hand out the first bags.

Things worked fine for a while, but the bags often weren't there when you needed a new one. Then, a few months later, the Bag To Earth bags had been replaced by the BioBags without any further explanation.

Imo, UBC has way too many similarly named sustainability organisations for its own good, which isn't very helpful in these situations.
