PAc E 3 <br />SUSTAINABILITY NEWSLETTER <br />City of Roseville Public Works & Engineering <br />Stop Food Waste Challenge <br />Did you know that about 40% of food is wasted somewhere <br />along the supply chain? That's like stepping out of a grocery <br />store with five bags of food and dropping two in the parking lot. You <br />may not think you waste that much food at home, but the little bits <br />here and there add up. <br />Hennepin, Ramsey, and Washington Counties are collaborating or <br />the Stop Food Waste Challenge during the month of August to <br />help you notice when you are wasting food, connect you with re- <br />sources to help you reduce it, and provide support and motivation <br />along the way. <br />Interested in participating? Click this link to join the City of Roseville's team! I will be tak- <br />ing part in the challenge this month, since I know I have a lot I can improve on. Select even <br />just one or two actions to work on and learn about over the month —tracking your activities <br />helps our team win points! <br />I hope you'll join me and the rest of the Stop Food Waste Challenge participants to prove that <br />everyday actions can make a big impact! <br />Are you a Roseville Sustainable Steward? <br />JANSE Pii -hE <br />SUSTAINABLE STEWARD <br />Do you try to take day-to-day actions to reduce your environ- <br />mental impact?
