If you’ve been to ASU’s main campus you’ve probably seen all the trees full of fruit and maybe assumed the school was using it in it’s cafeterias around campus. I guess not because I just ran across an article saying that some student groups have begun harvesting the fruit to be used around campus. I think it’s great that they are doing this and I hope it’s something that sticks. It makes sense that you’d use the fruit that growing right here. There is a good variety of trees there, navel, Seville and blood oranges, cumquats, limequats, lemons and pecans which are all organic. Thanks to the student group VegAware for doing all the hard work to make this happen!
Here’s the article about it at eCollege Times

This might be a growing trend, which would be great. I read that caltech recently started harvesting the olives from trees all over its campus. Previously, these were just garbage. Once again, that idea was started by students who took up beating the olives out of the trees to relieve stress during finals.

If it is a growing trend it’s a great one. Hard to believe campuses just throw all the great stuff they grow in the garbage.
I forgot to mention how great the orange blossoms smell this time of year. It’s quite amazing.
