What if every college student hated wasting the excess meal credits on their dining card enough to figure out a way to share it? And what if that eventually meant that a major produce wholesale market could cut its organic waste by 50% — while feeding people who can’t afford to buy the food they need? Evan Ehlers asked these questions and then tackled the problem — with sustained, practical action. And it’s becoming a movement. Learn about Sharing Excess and the latest milestones of this inspiring organization. An outpost could be popping up near you, wherever you are in the U.S.
