Reducing Food Waste Tuesday, February 18 | 6 to 7:30 p.m. There is a lot of focus on plastic waste, but what about waste from food? On average, about 20% of what goes to a landfill each day is food, more than any other category of waste. What kind of impact does this have on the environment? Does food really “go away” in a landfill? How can consumers help to reduce that waste? Join EarthWays own Maggie McCoy in this class to learn strategies for reducing food waste at each step from production to storage to decomposition. You will leave class with an action plan for how to decrease food waste in your own home. Click here to search all upcoming "Green Living" classes and tours.
