January Event: Organic/Local Institutional Foods
Location: REI, 750 W. American Blvd, Bloomington, MN 55420
You're not alone in wanting to have local and organic foods at conferences, institutions, and large cafeterias. But finding ample, reliable sources of ingredients and reducing waste can be a challenge. Learn about how companies are making mass-produced food healthier as well as composting, all while meeting the demands of serving large numbers of clients, on a strict budget, while trying to reduce their carbon footprint. The challenges continue but efforts by individuals and groups are pushing the boundaries of how we think about mass-produced food.
A local/organic lunch will be provided by Mississippi Market!

Ever wondered what could happen to your computer when you bring it to a recycling company? Concerned that electronic waste gets shipped overseas? Learn all about this electronic recycling company with a discussion and tour around the Asset Recovery facility. With the number of electronic devices being created each year, this part of the waste stream is growing. Data needs to be destroyed and the hardware in which this information is held needs to be properly managed so it does not enter the environment. A lunch will be provided by a local business using local foods.
