Summary

The Corporate Social Responsibility team at Contentful partnered with a San Francisco Marin food bank to raise $1000 and matched it with another $1000 donation, providing two meals for every dollar given. As the team spent more time at home due to the pandemic, they realized that online shopping was producing more household waste and encouraged others to up their recycling and composting game. The team shared tips on how to recycle smarter, including "pre-cycling" by looking at purchasing habits, treating items like dirty dishes before recycling them, and choosing eco-friendly packaging from online shops. They also emphasized the importance of starting a kitchen compost bucket to reduce organic waste sent to landfills and mitigate methane production.
