WASTE NOT, WANT NOT

If you haven't read the excellent Q&A article in the "Rotarian"January 2020 issue about fellow Rotarian Joe Richardson's outstanding work in establishing the "Lunch Out of Landfills" project in Frederick County schools, click on the link below. Joe hails from the Rotary Club of Southern Frederick County. Congratulations to Joe!

From the January issue of the "Rotarian" magazine:

The Bar-T Mountainside Challenge & Retreat Center and Summer Camp in Maryland runs on solar and geothermal energy; composting toilets save water. Richardson also runs after-school programs that include opportunities to learn about environmental issues. So when a teacher at a local high school asked him to help start a program to stop food waste from ending up in landfills, Richardson, a member of the Rotary Club of Southern Frederick County (Urbana), Maryland, seized the opportunity.
