The Los Angeles Sanitation & Environment (LASAN) is the city department responsible for protecting public health and the environment through waste management, water reclamation, pollution prevention, and sustainability programs that touch every Angeleno’s life. On this episode, Los Angeles City Council staffer, Chavonne Taylor, is joined by Jennifer Pinkerton, Assistant Director of LASAN, and James Roska, Environmental Supervisor, who both play key roles in advancing the City’s OrganicsLA and Zero Food Waste initiatives. Together, they offer insight into how Los Angeles is tackling food waste at every level—from inside city departments to household kitchens across the city.
