Portland Public Library to screen documentary, “Just Eat It”

Saturday, February 20th 4:30-6:30pm in the Rines Auditorium

Portland, Maine - Portland Public Library is joining forces with The Natural Resources Council of Maine and the Portland Food Co-op join to host a community screening and discussion of the documentary, "Just Eat It."

Did you know that 40 percent of the food produced for humans in the U.S. is wasted every year? That's enough to fill the Empire State Building nearly 100 times. Meanwhile, Maine ranks first in New England in terms of food insecurity, including for children, and the State struggles to manage the costs and impact of our municipal solid waste stream, 43 percent of which is organic material.

NRCM's Sustainable Maine project helps individuals, communities, and the State adopt practical, effective measures to conserve and protect Maine’s natural resources, now and for future generations. We are committed to helping address the massive food waste problem as it relates to human and environmental health and economic sense.
