Next Green Drinks on Sept. 28  Addresses Food Waste in Evanston

The EPA estimates that at least 30 percent of food in the U.S. goes uneaten. Evanston alone produces an estimate 270 tons of food waste each week. All that uneaten food rots in landfills where it accounts for a major portion of greenhouse gas emissions. Find out what some Evanston groups are doing to address this major issue in our own community, and come with your questions. Panelists: Devon Reid, CGE and Plates Over Waste, an Evanston citizens’ group focused  on food waste. Erlene Howard, Collective Resource, a composting service that seeks to reduce  landfill and improve soil, air, and water quality. Tim Sonder, Edible Evanston, a food-sharing program focused on providing  those in need with locally grown food. When: Wednesday, Sept. 28, 6:30 – 8 p.m. Where: The Celtic Knot, 636 Church St. (back room)
