In honor of Earth Week, come out for a FREE screening of the new award-winning documentary Just Eat It: A Food Waste

We all love food. As a society, we devour countless cooking shows, culinary magazines and foodie blogs. So how could we possibly be throwing nearly 50% of it in the trash?

Did you know producing the food we throw away generates more greenhouse gases than most countries do? Find out how reducing your food waste and supporting composting let’s YOU can combat climate change and support an equitable global food system!

Filmmakers and food lovers Jen and Grant dive into the issue of food waste from farm, through retail, all the way to the back of their own fridge. After catching a glimpse of the billions of dollars of good food that is tossed each year in North America, they pledge to quit grocery shopping and survive only on discarded food. What they find is truly shocking.


Arrive early (at 6:30) for snacks (FREE popcorn) and to meet other students. Please bring your own bottle for water refill!
