Island Conversations

Everybody Eats, Everybody Throws Food Away
How can we be more ecological, save money & cut greenhouse gases?

A monthly series for down-to-earth talk about Whidbey’s future. As the climate changes, how will we navigate changes in our food, air, water, health, housing, and social fabric? If you love our Island home and want to protect it now and always, please join us to envision the future we want, together.

When our organic wastes are properly decomposed they nourish other animals, plants, and organisms all along the food chain.Organic compost feeds the soil so it can feed us. Sadly, the vast majority of organic waste from Island County is hauled hundreds of miles away to the Roosevelt Landfill where it ends up creating methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and costing the County $millions annually.

WCA’s own David Haskell has been a zero-waste practitioner, government official, and advocate for over 30 years. David will facilitate a community conversation about how we can dedicate what we don’t eat to its highest  and best use for our health... and that of the environment.
