Leaflet Sources

Inside every Out-Pak is a leaflet that contains both nutritional information and a short write-up on topics of ecology and conservation from a science writer here in Pittsburgh. In order to promote healthy intellectual inquiry, we’ve made sure to compile the sources used in the making of our leaflets and post them here. If any of the topics stand out to you, we encourage you to take a minute to look through them for further reading.
