Composting at the UC Davis Memorial Union. Antonina Shapovalova and Serene Musallam from the UC Davis Honors Challenge joined Will Klein from the Campus Center for the Environment to update us on the compost pilot program that is currently happening at the UC Davis Memorial Union. The DHC students' initial study showed that over 70% of waste at the Memorial Union was compostable. Their work with ASUCD Project Compost, the ASUCD Senate and Campus Center for the Environment as well as Memorial Union staff and administrators within the UC Davis office of Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability has pushed the project forward.
