No Food Left Behind: Class Act

| September 7, 2012 | 9 Comments

The world is truly small.

On the same day I was told to check out this cool organization by some amazing educators in New Mexico, I learn that this organization had already found our bus! No Food Left Behind (NFLB) is West Hawaii’s Local Food Bus. On a campaign for zero waste, NFLB goes around the island, focused in rural West Hawaii, to bring “more local food to local plates and improv[e] the health and wellbeing” of the community. This gleaning project rescues fruit and veggie crops to get fresh produce into the local systems. Especially since Hawaii is on an island, more locally-sourced food means less waste and less dependency on imported foods.

A small world indeed – NFLB, we need to collaborate! Wish buses could swim…. Check out there great work here.
