In this episode of GridgeFridge, we sit down with Travis Blomberg, the campus resource coordinator at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As an administrator spearheading the university’s zero waste initiatives, Travis manages procurement practices and encourages mindful consumption on campus. He shares his journey regulating sustainability efforts at UW-Madison, including the creation of the Food Waste Collection program.
Travis also attempts to tackle the complex issue of food insecurity at UW-Madison, exploring its root causes and offering insight into student-led solutions. He highlights how students can leverage both classroom learning and student organizations to address these pressing challenges and potentially attract the attention of university administration.
