Waste not

Angel Arroyo-Rodriquez will discuss “Love food, hate waste” at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 21 in the pharmacy building.. The talk, which is sponsored by Alpha Epsilon Delta health pre-professional honors society, is free and open to the public. It will center on food waste and how it can be prevented.

 Arroyo-Rodriquez works in the Division of Materials and Waste Management of Ohio EPA, where he coordinates statewide efforts for food waste recovery. He has led revisions to Ohio’s composting regulations to promote sustainable agriculture and reduce food insecurity.

 Alpha Epsilon Delta has adopted hunger as its philanthropic focus this academic year. Members of the honors society recent picked, bagged and distributed more than 170 pounds of apples for the Ada food pantry as well as the Northwest Ohio food pantry in Lima.
