GOAL

Climate change and food insecurity have long been seen as two problems that are completely isolated from one another. For too long, uneaten food items and half-eaten food scraps have been sent to landfills and incinerators. Compostology aims to bring food waste to the forefront of the fight for equity and better communities, especially with schools in mind. Instead of having students continuing to throw away barely touched food into trash bins, we introduce an interdisciplinary program of new share tables, composting bins, education, and advocacy to create mindset change within schools - and the communities they touch.
