SUMMARY:Know Less Waste
DESCRIPTION:Learn more about why less matters. \nKnow Less Waste explores how the stuff we buy\, use and get rid of everyday\, is impacting our world. From furniture to food\, our purchasing decisions and behaviors are where we have the most impact\, both positively and negatively. We all know the 3 R’s: Reduce Reuse and Recycle\, but while most people focus on the 3rd R\, – Recycling – it’s Reduce that is the most important. Join staff from The Environmental Center’s Rethink Waste Project to learn more about why stuff matters\, globally and here in Deschutes County\, and leave with hands on tips to do something about it. \nDenise Rowcroft and Ani Kasch are Sustainability Educators with The Environmental Center\, a local non-profit organization working to embed sustainability into daily life in Central Oregon. Denise has managed their Rethink Waste Project and Learning Garden since 2011\, and enjoys creatively repurposing leftover and found materials. Ani has been coordinating our LED light bulb installations since 2016 and this past spring kicked off our community Rethink Food Waste Challenge. She is an avid bike commuter and loves cooking meals only with things found in her kitchen. \nTwo other events in this series: \n\nFebruary 7 @ 6:00 pm – 6:55 pm – East Bend Library\nFebruary 20 @ 12:00 PM – 12:55 PM – Sisters Library

SUMMARY:Wasted: The Story of Food Waste (Film Screening)
DESCRIPTION:You can reserve tickets in advance here. (Not required\, but suggested.)  \nWASTED! THE STORY OF FOOD WASTE aims to change the way people buy\, cook\, recycle\, and eat food. Through the the eyes of chef-heroes like Anthony Bourdain\, Dan Barber\, Mario Batali\, Massimo Bottura\, and Danny Bowien\, audiences will see how the world’s most influential chefs make the most of every kind of food\, transforming what most people consider scraps into incredible dishes that create a more secure food system. WASTED! exposes the criminality of food waste and how it’s directly contributing to climate change and shows us how each of us can make small changes – all of them delicious – to solve one of the greatest problems of the 21st Century. \nWatch the trailer for the film\, then mark your calendars to come see it at Volcanic Theater Pub on September 24th\, and learn more about how we are trying to reduce and prevent food waste here in our own community\, and how you can too! \n$10 per person suggested donation. Doors at 6:30\, film showing at 7pm\, short panel discussion to follow the movie with industry and community experts.

SUMMARY:Winter Clamshell Recycling Event
DESCRIPTION:Whole Foods successfully recycled all the plastic clamshell containers they collected last October\, and want to do it again in 2018! \nMark your calendars: \n\nJan 27\n\nPlease note\, due to shifting markets in the global recycling industry\, these clamshell recycling events at Whole Foods have been cancelled for the remainder of 2018. If you have been collecting them they will need to be put in the trash. When possible\, please consider bringing your own containers/bags and make bulk purchases to avoid bringing home more material. \n\nThese events will run from 10:00 – 4:00. Items collected are only plastic clamshells. Here are some examples of what often comes in clamshells:\n\n\nTo-Go style plastic take out containers\nGrapes\, cheery tomatoes\, strawberries\nLettuce\n\nWe are also looking for volunteers to help staff these events\, as it is a great opportunity to talk to people about what is and isn’t recyclable locally\, as well as other topics related to rethinking waste. Contact Denise if you’re interested!
