June Program: Managing Food Waste at Home

June 16th 6:30 - 8:00 PM

We know that to reduce the impacts of food waste, like other waste streams, we must focus in large part on reducing the sources of that waste. Overproduction, overbuying, and unjust distribution, among other phenomena, have resulted in 40% of US food being wasted with 43% of it coming from our homes. We have decisions to make in the home kitchen to keep that 43% out of landfills where almost all of it goes, resulting in the release of climate changing greenhouse gasses and water pollution.

Join us on June 16th for an upbeat program that will provide a variety of strategies and ideas for keeping food scraps from your kitchen out of the landfill. “Managing Food Waste at Home” features cookbook writer and blogger Ann-Marie Bonneau, author of “Zero Waste Chef, and local business owners Max Hosey of Hoser’s Central Kitchen in the Market at the Fareway, and Coleen Falicki founder of Back to Earth Composting.
