"Just Eat It: a food waste story"

documentary film screening and panel discussion

We all love food. As a society, we devour countless cooking shows, culinary magazines and foodie blogs. So how could we possibly be throwing nearly 50% of it in the trash?

This family friendly event aims to teach about food waste and its relationship to global warming. We will screen the documentary ‘Just Eat It’, a story about a couple who challenges themselves to eat only discarded food in order to learn more about the problem of food waste in the United States. The screening will be followed by a 30 minute discussion around the topic of food waste.

Speakers:

Becky Brodsky is a Zero Waste Schools Consultant at Seven Generations Ahead. Becky is also a Zero Waste Consultant for Collective Resource, a local business that provides composting services to the City of Evanston and throughout the Chicagoland area. She has earned her Green Classroom Professional Certificate from the U.S. Green Building Council and co-created a live workshop of the online course that is now used around the country. 

Bea Echeverria is Citizens' Greener Evanston 'Beyond Waste' program leader. She also works with D65 Green Teams to introduce composting programs. She created and runs Evanston’s own Repair Clinic since the Spring of 2018. Alongside Environmental Justice Evanston, she is involved in an Environmental Justice Resolution that has been brought to the City Council for consideration. 

Community Partners:

District 65 Green Teams is a collective of parent and staff representatives from District 65 schools that seeks to create healthier and more environmentally sustainable school communities through education, awareness, and action. Our ultimate goal is to foster the next generation of environmental stewards, while enacting lasting sustainable change in the School District.

Citizens' Greener Evanston works to make Evanston a more environmentally just, sustainable, and resilient community.
