Sustainable Food in Schools

According to this article, some colleges are adapting their food service to provide food that is organic, locally grown, and otherwise more sustainable than previous mass-produced options.

There was an article in the Yale Alumni Magazine a few issues ago about a fleet of school vehicles that were run on recycled grease from the kitchens. Not sure if the story (or a similar one) is online anywhere. But nice to hear about!
