Clean Plate Challenge!

January 25, 2010: With the help of Bon Appetit, Greenfire is running its annual Clean Plate Challenge this week in the new Warch Campus Center. From Monday the 25th through Sunday the 31st, Greenfire will be weighing all food wasted in the cafeteria. The main goal of the Clean Plate Challenge is to raise awareness about food waste and to encourage all Lawrentians to waste less. We'll post the results here!
