A total of 30,844 pounds of food scraps have been collected through the 2024 Food Scrap Drop Off program. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the program, which led to less waste in the landfill and an expansion of composting at Neighborhood Food Solutions Farm in Fitchburg. We surpassed our goal of collecting the weight of TWO adult woolly mammoths—enough to include a couple of baby mammoths, too! Were you unable to drop off your pumpkins? Keep them out of the landfill by: ?? Placing pumpkins at the curb with leaf collection (Madison residents) ?? Adding them to your own compost (smash or break the pumpkins to help decompose faster) ?? Cutting pumpkins into pieces and feeding the neighborhood wildlife

Check out this thoughtful reflection on our Summit! Thank you so much for joining us, Louis. Here’s to many more seeds growing into fruitful projects ??
Sustainability Project Engineer at Kohler Co. | WELL AP, USGBC EP Ambassador | 40 Under 40 Class of 2022
“The (sustainability) work has always been, and always will be at the local level”. Wrapping a long week with a room full of community change-makers at the 2024 Sustain Dane Summit. The power of storytelling and being vulnerable with one another fills a much needed cup to push forward. It was inspiring to hear local sustainability wins from numerous activists, including our City mayor, facility operators, a restaurant owner, a lab scientist, and a biochemistry manufacturer. I noticed a common theme from these empowering stories—a success recipe that builds on cross collaboration, climate ambitions, and innovative financing solutions. We are asked to dig deeper on the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ to channel our energy towards things to rise up for. To me, that means identifying impactful challenges I’m able to control, starting from my work and the communities I belong to. My highlight of the day was being told that a facility assessment I did for the Holy Wisdom Monastery four years ago laid the groundwork for a geothermal and solar PV project. This building later became the first Net Zero retreat facility in the state. It’s a reminder that change takes time, persistence and patience. Sometimes all one can do is to plant the seed, and that’s OK. Ending this reflection with a quote today from Luke Kloberdanz, Executive Director at the Ice Age Trail Alliance. He reminded us that we need to “be intentional to carve out time for the outdoors”, and “we should take this meeting to the trails”. #natureheals #community #resilience

The 2024 Sustain Dane Summit has begun! Toral Livingston-Jha, PCC and Luke Kloberdanz are having a heartfelt discussion about building a strong connection to nature and how it shows up in our work. “My connection to nature shows up frequently. Encouraging myself and our staff to connect to nature focuses us on our mission. I feel it myself when I can just go out and be in nature, focusing on nothing but being.” -Luke Kloberdanz, Executive Director & CEO, Ice Age Trail Alliance
