With Thanksgiving leftovers dwindling and winter parties starting to full swing, students are trying to make use of extra food. A new public Facebook group, #UMLeftovers, is working to combat food waste by encouraging students to post pictures of leftover food on social media with the hashtag #UMLeftovers.
The Facebook group was created at the end of October and has reached more than 250 members. According to the page administrator, the group began in the class Entrepreneurship 550: Interpersonal Skills, taught by lecturer Eric Fretz.
