"This morning Chef Educator Emily Hagar reported that one of the compost executives appeared earlier this week with a serious look on his face, asking for an apron.  He darted into the cafe as the Chef Educator trailed behind reminding him Ashe only composts at lunch, not at breakfast.  Reportedly he waved her off, reassuring her he wanted to compost, and commenced to dump smaller buckets from each cafeteria table into the larger one.  About halfway through the job, he happened on a small bucket that contained the crust of some breakfast pizza.
