All food scraps and other biodegradable waste created over the course of the luncheon will be recycled through an anaerobic biodigester to create both a near-zero net carbon vehicle fuel and a high-nitrogen fertilizer and compost. This year's Clean Air Champions include two business partners of the Cleaner Air Partnership: The Sacramento Association of Realtors for their Home Energy Conservation Program that weatherizes low-income homes; and Union Pacific Railroad Company for their voluntary efforts to reduce emissions from their locomotive fleet. Other Clean Air Champions that will be recognized are Carolyn Peck, the City of Auburn, Clean World, United Parcel Service, and a special commendation to Jeane Berry. The awards presentation will be followed by an exciting and inspiring message from Shawn Harrison, founder and co-director of Soil Born Farms. Tickets are $40 each, or a table of 10 for $400.
