August 7, 2023 - In just one year, FUEL °®¶¹app and °®¶¹app 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 °®¶¹app partnered with GoZero Services to further our sustainability efforts. 

To date, °®¶¹app 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! 

“°®¶¹app Sustainability was excited to partner with FUEL °®¶¹app to address their food waste and help FUEL meet their organizational mission of ‘Zero Waste,’†Tiffany Budd, °®¶¹app Sustainability Coordinator, said. “Composting is a top concern for °®¶¹app 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 °®¶¹app, °®¶¹app’s on-campus food pantry, and °®¶¹app Sustainability.
