The Green Room: Food Waste

On any given day, we waste a lot of food, whether it's during preparation, after it hits our plates, or because it's gone bad in the refrigerator.  Most of us probably don't think of this as an environmental issue, but it is.  

In the first installment of WEMU's "The Green Room", Barbara Lucas explores the growing issue of food waste.

"The Green Room" is a collaborative effort between WEMU News and the Washtenaw County Division of Environmental Health.

Barbara received a master's degree in Environmental Policy from the University of Michigan. She began her association with WEMU in 2003 as an intern with Washtenaw County, assisting with the weekly "Issues of the Environment" show. In 2003 she also began working in documentary film, and later established her own video production company.
