Weigh Our Waste Dining Halls Initiative

Date: Apr 24, 2024 at 11:15am to 1:45pm
Service Area: Environment/Food Insecurity The Hopkins Sustainability Leadership Council is holding a food waste awareness campaign during Earth week. During the lunch period, volunteers will help students sort their waste into 5 bins: edible food waste, non-edible food waste (bones, shells, etc.), compostable non-edibles (napkins, to-go cups and lids, etc.), liquid waste, and trash. The point of this event is to make people realize how much food they may be wasting. We are not there to shame anyone. Please be mindful of the fact that food-related anxiety and eating disorders are very real challenges for some people. We aren’t here to tell anyone what they should or shouldn’t be eating. We simply want to raise awareness about general food waste. There are three different volunteer roles: 1. Sorters 2. Enforcers 3. Checkers Please refer to this doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JuXVrtc2C5zhWd-auor02LFU6hpeMSHy/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=100025479703621937889&rtpof=true&sd=true for details on what each position entails.
