Sustain Mizzou Donates to Missouri Food Bank

"On a warm September day, a group of environmentally conscious students gathered around rows of peppers, cabbage and sweet potatoes and went over what is ripe and what can be thrown away.

Sustain Mizzou is a student-run effort that aims to increase awareness and volunteerism for the environment.
