Zero Waste Program | Curious Mix

Imagine the amount of food waste and garbage after one meal at your house. Now multiply that by two, three, four, or five hundred kids and that is a lot of trash. Two sixth graders decided to do something about it by starting a program to reduce waste at their school called the Zero Waste Cafeteria Project. Reporter Carter Barrett brings us the story.
