Hey @EatOrToss, were making dinner, wanted to include sundried tomatoes, and saw the little white specks on the food. What do you think, eat or toss to the compost bucket? Thanks.

The students from @WallsAtFrancis did an amazing job advocating for #recycling and #composting at #DC schools. This is one of many actions we need to meet DC's #waste diversion goal of 80% by 2032. @dczerowaste @ZeroWasteDCSC @DC_Recycler @DGSSustainable
Today’s marathon oversight hearing on the @DCDGS had over 50 public witnesses. I heard residents’ testimonies regarding building maintenance, school modernization, environmental safety, and the payment of contractors.

Awesome new-use of old wine
"Turned wine isn't trash: it's natural vinegar. Soaking chicken in it helps the meat get super tender and gives it the tart-honey-musky flavor of wine grapes. In this simple recipe, the wine really comes through in every bite." —Chef @joelgamoran explains: on.nrdc.org/2BRNoVY

When it comes to fighting climate change, most thoughts turn to clean energy — from electric vehicles to solar-powered homes. But we often overlook one of the most significant sources of heat-trapping gas emissions: food. on.nrdc.org/2yT0kJe

“Regenerative organic brings together the best of the soil health, fair labor, and animal welfare. In a natural ecosystem, there’s no chemical inputs: there’s a balance of plant and animal life, self-regenerating.” -David Bronner, @DrBronner. foodtank.com/news/2018/12/th…
