GrowNYC is hosting a virtual workshop: Food, Waste, and Climate - Part 2 - Waste on November 13, 2020 from 10:20AM-11:00AM or from 3:20PM-4:00PM. This is part two in a three-part series about the connection between food, waste, and climate change.
If food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases behind China and the U.S., according to the World Resources Institute. In recognition of America Recycles Day on November 14, this workshop looks beyond the usual paper, metal, plastic and glass recycling streams to ways we can reduce, reuse and recycle food to support a sustainable food system, increase food security and divert organic materials from landfill.
How we grow, distribute, and dispose of our food has an impact on the health of the planet. Food, Waste and Climate is a three-part series that explores the intersection of food and waste with the fight against the climate crisis.
This series is recommended for middle and high school students and educators. Participants who register as a teacher will be provided access to a google classroom with additional extension materials, discussion questions and an exit slip that can be shared with students.
Can't make the scheduled times? Choose a time and register for the Recording and Google Classroom ticket and we will send the materials to you the week following the event. (No need to register for both if you are attending the live virtual event as all participants will receive follow up materials.)
