Recycling and Sustainability
We are now composting all food and paper in the Main Dining Hall! Thank you for your cooperation.
By composting we eliminate a significant source of air polution :
- In Dutchess County, NY everything that is not recycled is incinerated. Food waste requires a lot of energy to incinerate because it is 95% water.
- Each ton of food waste we recover saves over two tons of carbon dioxide
