Small changes can make a big difference when we all make them together. You can pledge to take just one action, or pledge to do all six! Participants will be entered to win a $50 Shop Melrose gift certificate for pledges made by April 30th.
Join us during Melrose Earth Week on Saturday, April 24 from 1-3pm outside at City Hall to learn why food waste is a super-sized problem, and the easy changes we can all make to waste less food in our every day lives.
We'll also demystify food waste composting, with options that fit a cozy apartment or a big backyard. Check out examples of compost bins, and bring questions for our experts. And learn about the amazing food rescue project in Melrose, The Food Drive, that diverts tons (literally) of quality food from the trash to neighbors in need. It's all happening outside at Melrose City Hall, April 24, 1-3pm. (Safety guidelines for distancing and face coverings apply.)
