Erb Institute students Greg Buzzell and Julia Koslow and SNRE Master's student Elizabeth Senecal were part of a team of volunteers leading the Student Sustainability Initiative's "zero-waste" tailgate, part of the U-M Alumni Association's homecoming activities.  According to Buzzell, though some waste was produced,  the event yielded about 500 pounds of compostable material that would have otherwise been sent to a landfill.
