Welcome to Your Daily Dot where Dot will share tips, advice, and stories on how we can make our world better.

Dear Reader,

Cafeterias might be the setting for lunchtime drama and food fights in the movies, but in real life, they’re where young people come together to tackle climate issues. Since 2009, Cafeteria Culture has helped inspire student leadership to drive real-world change. After all, every student has access to the cafeteria. The organization's hands-on programs enlist kids to use science, civic action, media, and art to tackle food waste and plastic pollution. With these tools, young people also create local composting to boost community resilience. 

Dot celebrates today’s Climate Champ, Cafeteria Culture, for coming up with a brilliant way to give kids the power to create the change we all want — and to do it right where they congregate.

Hungrily,

Dot
