April 2023
Join the WSU Access Center for the annual Disability Awareness Symposium!
This year’s event will focus on “Exploring Neurodiversity” and feature speakers from WSU and the local community.
Join us at the CCE Public Square as a distinguished panel will discuss biochar and an upcoming Pizza for the Planet event that will produce it!
This discussion examines biochar–a charcoal-like substance made from burning organic material (also known as ‘biomass’) a safe and controlled process called pyrolysis. During pyrolysis, organic materials, such as used pizza boxes, are burned in a container with little oxygen. The organic material is then converted into biochar–a very stable form of carbon–almost none of which is released into the atmosphere. The heat created during pyrolysis can then be captured and used as a form of clean energy.
Come celebrate Earth Day at Hillside Café by learning about and enjoying a number of grain focused meals! This event will feature Harvest Ridge Flour in delicious flatbread pizza’s, a showcase on whole grains, and Master Students from the United States Department of Agriculture will be there to talk about the benefits of grains and how they are vital to our community.
