Sustainability Club at the University of Wyoming

Food waste is contributes to climate change, wastes resources, and harms biodiversity. The most effective way to reduce these impacts is to prevent food waste before it can happen. Here is some information, and some ways you can help!! Feeding Laramie Valley is a GREAT resource where you can compost, as well as our campus Food Pantry where you can donate or pick up free food.
