Campus Waste Diversion and a Trip to the EC Garden

Campus Waste Diversion. The ASUCD Coffee House is currently undergoing renovations and further waste diversion practices are being incorporated in the renovation plans. Prior to opening the new Coffee House, the Memorial Union will be piloting an organic waste composting program - diverting both pre- and post-consumer waste through composting at Jepson Prairie Organics. Currently, pre-consumer composting is happening at the Coffee House with support from ASUCD Project Compost. Thank you to our guests, Will Klein from the Campus Center for the Environment, Sara Kosoff, ASUCD Coffee House employee, Bree Rombi, ASUCD Senator, and Alexa Sommers-Miller, ASUCD Project Compost director.

EC Garden. We took you out the the Experimental College (EC) Community Gardens on campus to welcome in the new garden coordinators, Lauren Cockrell and Skyler Blakesly, and take a tour form outgoing coordinator Tim Quick. The EC Garden is open to community members and students. You can find out more about the EC Garden by visiting the EC Garden website or the wiki page.
