Goal of Workshop 2.3
Outline a path to responsible procurement and disposal practices for food and materials used on campus
Tasks & Discussion Questions:
Discussion Questions:
- What kind of waste commitment(s) should CAP 2.0 include?

- What are we doing well with respect to waste outreach and education? What are our gaps or shortcomings?
- How should we staff this work campus-wide? Who should be part of the group that manages consumption policies and practices?
- How to build collective impact and achieve systemic change in the Northfield community in our waste district, and beyond?
- What are the challenges to waste management from a user’s perspective?
