Organics and Food Recovery at Schools
The County of San Diego recently set a goal of 75% diversion by 2025. Organic materials can reach up to 50% of a school's waste stream, when little or no action to divert the material is put into action. Tyla will discuss the County of San Diego's initiative, "Food, Too Good to Waste!" in instilling the highest and best use of recovered food as well as creating onsite composting at school campuses. She will also mention the importance of creating relationships with food recovery partners such as animal sanctuaries' and community food banks. These provide schools various avenues in which help divert organics to feed the people first, animals and then the soil.
