40,000 lbs less waste in one year?!
You'd be surprised how easy it can be...

1,110,000
The equivalent of how many chicken nuggets Hartwick could save in a single year if we always performed at our best!
Hey, it’s us again!
As you well know, we’re constantly tracking food waste in Commons — and you won’t be surprised to hear that some days are AWESOME!
However, equally unsurprisingly, there are also some…not so awesome days.
Now, of course, not every day can be a great day; we all know that. But let’s take a look at how much of an impact we could have on our total waste output if we started stacking those great days together…

It’s the simple things, like starting small and coming back for seconds, that help get us closer to making every day great!

The small changes we make each day may not feel like much, but over the course of a year, it can add up to a huge decrease in waste! That’s over 40,000 lbs in one year!
We’re constantly making updates to our waste-tracking dashboards to make them more interactive. Check them out at any time to see near-real-time waste trends.
Remember, small changes lead to big impact when we all act together.
Share the emails, talk to your friends, your grandma, even your dog. The more smart eaters we have, the bigger our impact becomes.
So until next time, keep working hard and having fun, and as always – eat smart.
Best,
The Albi Team
