Approach1-MatthewB

There are many ways to approach the on campus food waste and one I think would make an impact is a series of posters similar to the one below, perhaps making people change their habits of serving themselves too much food, often far more than they end up eating.  Showing examples of families and people around the world who struggle to come up with any food at all is something that will effect nearly everyone who sees it, mentally, and that’s where we are going to start.

• Background: Umaine has a surplus of food that we waste every day, we need to make a change and get people to think differently when they go and eat at one of the halls on campus.

• Explanation: To provide posters at various food halls which would possibly motivate students and faculty to shift their ideas about food and those who are going hungry locally.
