Cos Cob Library – Food Matters: Impacts & Solutions in Greenwich

Join Julie DesChamps, founder and chair of Waste Free Greenwich, to learn about the most promising solution to our waste crisis – the diversion of wasted food through prevention, donation and recycling. Wasted food, which composes nearly a quarter of our waste stream, is the key to reducing our waste stream, alleviating food insecurity and cutting our carbon footprint. Discover the innovative initiatives currently underway and future goals of Waste Free Greenwich across sectors – residential, educational, business and municipal – to reduce the impacts of wasted food and empower our community for a more sustainable future.
