Did you know that plastic easter eggs cannot be recycled? Rather than throwing them away, you can:
👉 Donate them to a local thrift store
👉 Save and reuse them next year
👉 Drop them off at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden or NAMI - Wood River Valley

COVID19 is both a challenge and an opportunity to rebuild something that serves people better that will require both vision and commitment at local, regional and global levels. What will you do in your regions to ensure a more regenerative #FoodSystem tomorrow?

As the COVID19 crisis continues to spread, we should reflect on the transformation needed to develop a #FoodSystem that nourishes all people, regenerates the environment and enables resilient communities and economies. What does yours look like Today and Tomorrow? #foodvision2050
