Happy New Year!!
JOIN THE “NO FOOD WASTE” CHALLENGE
Join us in this innovative service learning challenge!
Wasted food is a social problem! In 2013, 14.3 percent of
U.S. households were food insecure at some time during the year. That is 48
million Americans, of which 16 million are children, living in food insecure
households. Wholesome, nutritious food should feed people, not landfills.
Food waste is a major problem that touches issues of sustainability, food
security, and public health. We know that 40% of our food goes to waste and the
majority of food is wasted at the consumer level - at grocery stores, at
restaurants and in homes. We have a huge opportunity to educate our BCS
community and build better habits that will lead to reducing food
waste. Starting January 16, 2018, BCS will be partnering with Foodstand, a sustainable eating
behavior change program that provides an education and challenge experience via
their mobile platform. The app provides daily education, tracking, one-on-one
support, team and challenge set up, and reporting to help measure the impact of
the initiative. The program supports our curriculum goals at BCS and will help
us live into our 3E’s (education, environment, each other). Please read the parent
information letter and, if you would like your child to participate, print
and complete the consent
form returning it to your child’s homeroom/academic lab teacher no later
than Thursday, Jan. 11, 2018 (complete one form for each child
participating). For those who want to join in on the challenge, a
voluntary workshop will be provided on Tuesday, 1/16/18 at 6:30 PM in the BCS
media center (also on BCS Facebook Live).
