We hope to begin this documentary “The Loss We Can Gain” by framing the problem of food waste in the Lehigh Valley area. We will do this by interviewing people who have been community activists by fighting food waste and promoting food justice in the Lehigh Valley. We don’t want this documentary just to point out a known problem, but rather show what Easton is doing to combat this problem. We will show the steps Easton has taken to tackle this problem by telling the story of the pilot composting projects that have been taking place over the past few years. These programs have been very successful and the EPA wants to roll out more programs like these during their conference that will be hosted at Lafayette this November. We hope to capture the conference to highlight the future plans of the food waste problem and we will flush out those details via interviews.
