SUMMARY:Food Waste Prevention and Rescue Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that wasted food makes up over 25% of waste at Knott Landfill by tonnage – making it the largest category of waste in the landfill? Yet\, in Deschutes County\, 1 in 8 people is food insecure\, meaning they don’t always know where their next meal will come from. In addition\, the average family of four tosses $1\,800 worth of food every year ($150/mo on just wasted food!) and wasted food uses the same energy and water as 50 million homes. It’s time to rethink food waste\, and we want to help you do it. \nWe will start with a brief presentation on why food waste matters\, how to prevent food waste\, and strategies for composting. Afterwards\, a small group of us will walk over to the Bend Farmers Market to the High Desert Food and Farm Alliance (HDFFA) booth for an intro and demo to food rescue. If you’re interested in both\, the presentation and the demo\, be sure to select the appropriate ticket below. There are only 15 spots open for the demo\, so once it is sold out\, that option will no longer be available. Please reach out to kavi@envirocenter.org with any questions. \nREGISTER HERE
