The Center for a Sustainable Future is having a food drive to collect food scraps to feed the compost tumblers!
Two years ago, IUSB collected 4,760 pounds of food scraps from campus and composted them to use in the garden on campus. This resulted in removing the same amount of emissions as 12.23 cars being removed – that’s equivalent to 5.29 tons of carbon dioxide avoided from being put into our atmosphere!
If you, your department, or your club would like to compost YOUR own food waste on campus, contact Holly Shaffer at hlshaffe@iu.edu at the Center for a Sustainable Future to get a bucket and a short informational session on how to properly compost.
Help prevent even more greenhouse gas emissions from entering into our atmosphere this school year and reduce our campus’s waste and environmental impact.
