If having a china event, ask that the food scraps be composted ‘behind the scenes’. Arrange for left-over food to be picked up or delivered to the local food shelter (available for large volume events). Food Choices Choose Fair Trade Coffee. Choose locally grown & regional foods (e.g. produce, nuts, olive oil, rice etc.). Choose organic and/or free range meats.
