Featured: Justine as a waste-stream carrot muncher
Attended a speaker session about poverty and homeless issues at
the university put on by the campus Ameri-CORPS. All a promotion for a student activity, Cardboard Village. This is an effort for students to increase the awareness of poverty issues. Don't be fooled, it exists. Be great-full for your shelter.pittsburghfoodbank
The Greater Pittsurgh Community Food Bank is A Member of America's Second Harvest, or this Second Harvest. Working with food distributors to feed the hungry. This speaker shared about SNAP, which is the new word for food-stamps. SNAP is a program funded through the Dept. of Agriculture, not Welfare. Don't be fooled, hunger exists. Be great-full for your food.
Two personal speakers spoke about their real life experience at homeless. VOICE is a domestic violence and homelessness organization in Butler Co. PA.
The first presentation was about a child homelessness initiative. Sue Phafles shared her work with IU4 (I tried google-ing it, didn't get very far).
Moldy Chicken Dance Off
Today I ate the last of the last of the bread from Ohio and started munching on the bag of carrots, also from Ohio waste. Then went on a moldy chicken adventure with Justine. Again, I prove to myself that I have standards. I did not eat the chicken. Composting it wasn't a good idea because we didn't want to attract animals out at the Macosky Center. The decision was to take it to a wooded area to return the nutrient to Earths natural cycle. After a long discussion on the world and a quick walk, we chose the home for the moldy chicken because we spotted an orange and a kiwi already laying next to a leafy wooded area. Also along the way, I picked up a pretty full strawberry slush drink (full before I drank it). After the Moldy Chicken Dance Off, on the way to the Rally I picked up some cookies and Doritos to snack on.
Yesterday, Dan (I wear Toms Shoes) Snyder found a strip cheese stick in the trash, gave it to me. I kept it until today, reminded me of child days. Is strip cheese sustainable? prepackaged, not local, from industrial agriculture ... I don't feel good about it.
In the evening, I shared the dinner table with Tim, Bert, and Chad at a campus diner. I rounded up some fries, two mystery wraps, chicken fingers, and some Italian sub remnants from the trash ... still hot, Delish.
