Food waste makes up the largest component of garbage in the Portland metro region – with huge environmental consequences. Lewis & Clark partners with COR Disposal and Recycling, a minority-owned certified B-corporation (and operator of Oregon’s first all-electric garbage truck), to repurpose our food waste. “Sustainability, really, is about leaving the planet and leaving our community in a better way than we found it,” said Amy Dvorak, Lewis & Clark’s sustainability director. COR is not only our waste-hauler. They also help educate our students about the green economy. “They come and talk with my sustainability and entrepreneurship class, really inspiring students to see a business that’s modeled around having a positive impact in our communities,” said Dvorak.
