Delia Denis

  • Guest Speaker Delia Denis: MN Green Corps and Rice County Environmental Services was introduced by Laura.  Delia is Laura’s niece and is a great advocate for the environment.  She is still in the process of attending college.

    • Delia gave a very detailed presentation with facts and stats for food waste that occurs around the world and locally.  She detailed how food waste is affecting Rice County, climate change, and provided ways food waste can be reduced/prevented.  One fact she mentioned was that 50% of our landfill waste is edible food.  She provided tips of making food lists before shopping, meal planning, only buying what is needed, making the most of your food, knowing expiration dates, and more.   She also wanted everyone to consider donating food, using composts, giving food to animals, and more.   Delia answered all questions afterwards and was commended on a great presentation.
