Use it Up and Reduce Food Waste at Home!
Tuesday, June 8th, 4-5:30 PST
We’ve all heard the ugly statistic that 30-40% of food is wasted in the US – let’s all do what we can to shrink that number to zero! Join us with some local food waste reduction experts as we learn some fun recipes to use up your commonly thrown away items. We’ll watch some short cooking videos and then have a chance to ask the experts any of your food scrap questions. Come with your questions, ideas, and be ready to participate in the conversation.
