August 7, 2023 - In just one year, FUEL 无码专区 and 无码专区 Sustainability, have saved more than 3,000 pounds of food waste from the landfill! Composting became part of FUEL鈥檚 daily operations last summer when 无码专区 partnered with GoZero Services to further our sustainability efforts.
To date, 无码专区 has diverted 3,286 pounds of waste which is a huge number when you consider nearly 40 percent of all food produced goes to waste and 30 percent ends up in landfills. Imagine if Mount Rumpke was 30 percent smaller!
鈥溛蘼胱ㄇ Sustainability was excited to partner with FUEL 无码专区 to address their food waste and help FUEL meet their organizational mission of 鈥榋ero Waste,鈥欌 Tiffany Budd, 无码专区 Sustainability Coordinator, said. 鈥淐omposting is a top concern for 无码专区 students, and we have taken the first step in diverting thousands of pounds of campus food waste from landfill.鈥
Composting is just one of many sustainability initiatives by FUEL 无码专区, 无码专区鈥檚 on-campus food pantry, and 无码专区 Sustainability.
