Team Reusers

Who are We?

We are a team of 12 passionate York University students that come from different faculties. With our diverse range of knowledge and our common interest in helping the community, we have come together to propose a solution to the sustainable developmental challenge of food insecurity in the woburn community. Our goal is to work with Woburn schools to introduce a compost program by providing compost bins and educational content and activities.
