Information Session
In a JIFfy: The Life Cycle of Peanut Butter
11:30 am - 12:00 pm
Biddeford Campus (Commons room 320)
Davis Martinec, Environmental Health & Safety Specialist
From planting to processing to transporting, peanut butter uses a large amount of resources to manufacture and distribute. Eighty-nine percent of households in the US regularly consume peanut butter, but few of us consider the processes used to get it to our table. Join us in March to learn about the real cost of a common household product like peanut butter and engage in discussion about life-cycle analysis of other products.
Food For Thought is a monthly conversation series – you know, like a lunch & learn, but more hip – hosted by the Environmental Health & Safety and Sustainability Offices. We’ll dive into sustainability and safety topics, with guest appearances from expert faculty and staff. You’re invited to bring questions and suggestions (and a buddy!), as we’re aiming for an interactive format. Head below for details on each topic.
The first ten participants to sign-in at the event each month get a free lunch!
