Vegetable Scrap Collecting


🥬 Dragon Dining Collection – October 13, 2025
On Monday, we were able to collect 1.483 kilograms of vegetable food scraps. We know this may not seem like much, but each collection adds up to a larger number of CO2 emissions prevented. This was then dried and turned into fertilizers which will be distributed to the local farms in Hodogaya. Thank you, Dragon Dining, for this continued support!
