Help Minimize Waste at This Event!
The Department of Soil, Water, and Ecosystem Sciences is committed to improving the health of our soils by composting all biodegradable materials from this year’s Research Forum, including coffee grounds, food waste, and shredded paper. All compost-friendly waste will be processed by the Compost Cooperative and Gardens (CCG), creating an organic soil amendment to feed the future. Be sure to use the appropriate composting and recycling containers during the event.
