Northeastern President Joseph E. Aoun high-fives Yuxin Liu, a student co-op in the Green Offices division of the campus Facilities Department. Liu and Carol Rosskam, center, NortheasternÕs sustainability program manager, helped plan a cookout for members of the campus community that had nearly zero waste. Compostable cups, plates, and utensils took the place of plastic. After all, everything tastes better with a side of sustainability. Photo by Matthew Modoono/Northeastern University
