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
