SUMMARY, SHOW #10
Food Waste in America has skyrocketed, we throw away 103 million tons a day, comes to one pound of food discarded by each one of us. Ironically, 12.8% of US households experience food insecurity.
For solutions and to start the conversation we have two experts from the trenches representing the state of CT and the town of Manchester. Talking to us on their initiatives at the state and town level, and of a pilot program on composting in the town of Manchester. Our guests patiently school us on recycling answering questions on, WHAT is composting, the benefits? All about the ‘What’s IN? What’s OUT?’ campaign. WHAT are the 6 R’s? WHY opt to repair instead of buying new? WHAT is Unit Base Pricing? WHY we need to replace single use items? WHAT is a Food Recovery program? WHAT you can and can’t recycle at a Transfer Station? WHAT is a Swap Shop? WHAT is MRF? WHY Plastic bags are hazardous? HOW a Party Pack can help you save money and the environment? And so much more. Not to be missed. Join us!
