Changing the Way We Eat – A TedxManhattan Viewing Party

A viewing party of Changing the Way We Eat, a TEDx- Manhattan presentation by Peter Lehner, Executive Director of NRDC, who will speak on the subject of food waste. “The extent of food waste in the United States. Here in the U.S., an astonishing 40 percent of the food that is grown, processed, and transported is lost and never consumed by people, with staggering implications for our use of water, energy, and chemicals. Of course, food is not the only thing we waste at frightening levels, and by thinking of waste more broadly we can get some ideas of how to tackle food waste”, he writes. The viewing party runs from 10am-4pm – stay all day or drop in for a little while. Pot lucks are welcome. For more information call Maria Grimaldi at 845 /482-4164.
