Large-scale Composting at Koetter+SmithIN-PERSON OR Join Microsoft Teams Meeting

Join us for our monthly EcoReps workshop featuring locals making a difference in sustainability and a free vegetarian lunch!

Our guest on October 31st will be Laura Veldman, the Senior Sourcing Manager at Smith Creek in Borden, Indiana. Smith Creek manages the industrial-scale composting operation where all of the food scraps from UofL Dining end up. Come learn what they are doing to keep organics out of the landfill and turn a problem into "black gold!"

The Sustainability Council’s EcoReps program is designed to move students, faculty & staff beyond talk to action for a more sustainable UofL! We provide basic training & resources, service opportunities, and leadership positions as a point-person & peer-to-peer advocate for sustainability. More info on EcoReps website
