Our Eco-business highlight of the month is also one of our longest customers. Imagine Nation Brewing has made an impressive effort even through the pandemic to divert organic waste from the local landfill.

In the natural world, nothing goes to waste. Plants and animals may die and decay, but the nutrients are reused to support regrowth and new life. In the human world, this is not always the case. The cycle is stopped when our waste is combined and sequestered into a landfill. Even in our beautiful city of Missoula, it is estimated that yard and food waste alone make up 28% of material in the landfill.
