Ithaca College

In 25 years you’ve helped us divert 12.5 million pounds of food scraps from the landfill – now that’s a reason to celebrate! Join us as we commemorate a quarter century of composting at Ithaca College. We’ll have live music from Ithaca’s premiere composting band, Rot and Roll; tabling and support by EcoReps; IC Environmentalists; IC’s Conservation Psychology class, and Tompkins County Recycling and Materials Management. There will also be delicious “compost-themed” birthday cakes to dig into! Along with some trendy and reusable giveaways. Test your waste-reduction abilities as we "Weigh the Waste" in the dining hall. Be part of the clean plate club, as we collect food scraps and weigh them to identify how much food waste we’re producing (per person) at dinnertime. Music. Food. Environmentalism. Cake. Prizes. Weigh the Waste. Terraces Dining Hall, 5-8pm this Wednesday, April 18: Reducing food waste on campus is a team effort, so join the conversation and learn more as we recognize 25 years of composting on campus!
