Environmental education and action in NYC with Julie Raskin @ Department of Sanitation New York (DSNY)

Julie Raskin is the Senior Advisor for Partnerships and Executive Director of the Foundation for New York’s Strongest at The Department of Sanitation New York (DSNY). Julie talks to us about how she got to her dream job and also the Food Waste Fair coming up on May 23rd at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. I love how Julie has combined her love of the environment, giving back to the community and business into her current job.

If you’re around on May 23rd, definitely go and check out the Food Waste Fair. It’s going to be an amazing day filled with delicious food and educational talks.
