51����

August 7, 2023 - In just one year, FUEL 51���� and 51���� 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 51���� partnered with GoZero Services to further our sustainability efforts. 

To date, 51���� 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! 

“51���� Sustainability was excited to partner with FUEL 51���� to address their food waste and help FUEL meet their organizational mission of ‘Zero Waste,’” Tiffany Budd, 51���� Sustainability Coordinator, said. “Composting is a top concern for 51���� 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 51����, 51����’s on-campus food pantry, and 51���� Sustainability.
