All of the compostable food waste from the dining halls and student union coffee house is collected and composted. The compost is then used on the student farm and in the research fields. While this doesn't complete take care of all the waste it does take care of a big chunk of it. I worked in the coffee house kitchen my senior year and we composted everything we could that didn't end up in the food. It is as simple as having a compost only bucket that everything just automatically got sorted into if it wasn't trash. Here is the website: http://projectcompost.ucdavis.edu/ I just found your blog and I think it is great. I have to admit my home habits are not as good as I would like and I am working on it everyday. Now I have even more motivation! Hey Johnathan,

The students eat the diners’ unwanted leftovers to reduce waste and raise awareness. A noble effort, but if it came down to yesterday’s sushi or today’s lunch leftovers from a stranger, sign me up for the former.
