A large portion of America’s waste stream is comprised of food scraps and byproduct. To reduce the food waste being processed by municipal water and garbage services, students in Steve Kelley’s Science to Action: All Paths class worked with Brooklyn Park to identify opportunities to recycle food waste. The students focused on two types of food waste in particular - organic wastes and greases, fats and oils. Several waste management strategies were identified, and their feasibility explored. Ultimately the students recommended mandating businesses install grease traps, and encouraging businesses to recycle organic wastes and be waste conscious. The students’ final report and presentation are available.ensustainabilitylocal governmentBrooklyn ParkBrooklyn Park Projects, 2016-2017Presentation
