Daily Challenges

Welcome to Day 11 of the Food Waste Challenge! There will not be a new challenge today. Instead, we wanted to inform everybody of opportunities and events for points that are taking place tomorrow on Earth Day. 

 
First off, TerrAqua is hosting a hike through the Big Darby Headwaters Nature Preserve on Saturday, and are meeting at the Kottman Hall Lobby at 8:45 AM to carpool over there. You are encouraged to pack a zero waste lunch (no packaging waste, tupperware, reusable silverware, etc). Here’s the Facebook event where you can find more information!
Another opportunity for points will be volunteering at the many sites that will be hosting litter clean-ups, tree plantings, and more for Earth Day! It’s a great way to give back to your community. Here’s the link with more information about the opportunities available.
To gain points for either of these, please take a picture of yourself at the event and post it on social media with the hashtag #osufoodwastechallenge. Bonus points will be given if you have a caption/paragraph regarding your thoughts on the event. If you do not want to post to social media, please email your submission to frnosu@gmail.com.

This means, if you haven’t had the chance to – head to the Challenges tab on the left side of this screen and start submitting!
