We are trying something new at our first Summit today and tomorrow. We have started a discussion board on Facebook just for the event, where we will be posting ideas, links, and other up to the minute information at the CJS Summit. Whether you are at the Summit, or checking in from somewhere else, we hope you'll join in the discussion!
Honduras
We are in Houston, heading out in the morning for Honduras. We will be staying in the village of Embarcadero for our Village Partners Project, with no electricity or internet for most of the trip, but we will be blogging when we can. I will blog here, and Jeff will be blogging over at Buscher's Blog. Now, I am heading to bed for a 5am wake up call!
eat local for the holidays
Join the Greater Kansas City Food Policy Coalition and your neighbors in supporting our local food system.
Sign the online pledge to have at least one local food item in your holiday meal. It might be the sweet potatoes, the pecans for your pumpkin pie, or even the turkey itself. Whichever you choose, you can make a difference by supporting local farmers and vendors.
Find out what items are fresh now in Greater Kansas City, and check out recipes using some of those ingredients.
Not sure where to find local foods? Check out these vendors and stores and restaurants specializing in local foods.
You can find food items for your holiday meal right here at home. They're local, they're tasty and they're easier to find than you might think!
Organic recycling in Caf, Cage, Perch
Beginning tomorrow, Wed. Nov. 17, we will begin recycling all organic, compostable waste in Dining Services. To learn more about the program, and find out what is compostable or not, go here.
Within the cafeteria, Cage, and Perch, everyone who works or eats at Jewell will separate organic, compostable materials from non-compostable. The compostable waste will be diverted from the landfill and instead taken away by Missouri Organic to be composted at their facility. We already purchase all of the compost and mulch used on our grounds from Missouri Organic, so now we are completing the cycle!
This will have only a minor impact on our dining routine. Please follow these steps when busing your tables at Jewell:
- Deposit all organic, compostable waste into designated waste cans only. The majority of your waste should fall into this category.
- Deposit any non-organic, non-compostable waste into designated waste cans only.
- Place scraped off plates onto a tray and on the conveyor belt.
