Initiative seeks to tackle food waste - The Martha's Vineyard Times

The Martha s Vineyard Times Initiative seeks to tackle food waste In response to the environmental and financial costs of exporting food waste off-Island, the Food Waste Initiative is advocating for investment in local composting infrastructure. In a virtual chat hosted early Thursday evening, project director Eunice Youmans explained the need for local food-waste processes and the potential benefits behind large-scale composting.  According to Youmans, food waste presents both an environmental and economic issue for the Island. A significant contributor of climate change, food waste emits 8% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions per year.  The Food Waste Initiative reports that Martha’s Vineyard exports 6,500 tons of food waste off-Island each year, accumulating in 621 trucks displacing 2,500 cars on the ferry. More significantly, they project that, between 2025 and 2040, food waste will cost Vineyarders $19.4 million total.
