Perrot Memorial Library

In honor of Earth Day, Perrot presents a talk with Greenwich resident Thomas McQuillan, Director of Sustainability at Baldor Foods, one of the largest produce distributors in the northeast. At Baldor, McQuillan created an initiative called "SparCs" (scraps spelled backwards) to reinvent the way people feel about unused food. McQuillan eliminated food waste from Baldor's facilities, and his revolutionary program has served as a template for other corporations across the country. An influential voice in the sustainability movement, he has presented his work at Harvard, NYU, Stanford, and even the White House. Come hear about McQuillan's transformative work, and learn how you, too, can help eliminate food waste.
