Save Food, Save Money, and Save the Planet! Online
Want to make a simple change that will reduce your carbon footprint, save water, and help the environment? How about if that change will also help you feed your family better, stay healthier, and save thousands of dollars every year? Can it be as simple as learning how not to waste food?
Learn from Sue Barns about the issue of food waste, it's local and global impacts, and how to prevent it in your own home. This talk will include many easy steps you can take that will save time, save money, and save the planet. Attendees will have the opportunity to receive a free Food Waste Prevention Toolkit from Los Alamos County.
Sue Barns started recycling at a very young age, and continues to seek new ways to prevent waste and pollution. After obtaining a PhD in Microbiology, she came to LANL on an Oppenheimer Postdoctoral Fellowship. She continued working in Biosciences Division, doing research on biothreat detection and soil microbial community responses to climate change, before changing careers to train service dogs for people with disabilities. In 2015, she resumed focus on environmental issues, volunteering for PEEC, serving on the Los Alamos Environmental Sustainability Board and Zero Waste Teams, and most recently on the Resiliency, Energy and Sustainability Task Force.
