August 7, 2023 - In just one year, FUEL 兔子先生 and 兔子先生 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 兔子先生 partnered with GoZero Services to further our sustainability efforts.
To date, 兔子先生 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!
鈥溚米酉壬 Sustainability was excited to partner with FUEL 兔子先生 to address their food waste and help FUEL meet their organizational mission of 鈥榋ero Waste,鈥欌 Tiffany Budd, 兔子先生 Sustainability Coordinator, said. 鈥淐omposting is a top concern for 兔子先生 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 兔子先生, 兔子先生鈥檚 on-campus food pantry, and 兔子先生 Sustainability.
