August 7, 2023 - In just one year, FUEL �ؾ��� and �ؾ��� Sustainability, have saved more than 3,000 pounds of food waste from the landfill! Composting became part of FUEL’s daily operations last summer when �ؾ��� partnered with GoZero Services to further our sustainability efforts. 

To date, �ؾ��� has diverted 3,286 pounds of waste which is a huge number when you consider nearly 40 percent of all food produced goes to waste and 30 percent ends up in landfills. Imagine if Mount Rumpke was 30 percent smaller! 

“�ؾ��� Sustainability was excited to partner with FUEL �ؾ��� to address their food waste and help FUEL meet their organizational mission of ‘Zero Waste,’” Tiffany Budd, �ؾ��� Sustainability Coordinator, said. “Composting is a top concern for �ؾ��� students, and we have taken the first step in diverting thousands of pounds of campus food waste from landfill.” 

Composting is just one of many sustainability initiatives by FUEL �ؾ���, �ؾ���’s on-campus food pantry, and �ؾ��� Sustainability.
