Project: Community Composting
Our efforts continue in creating a climate-smart community by engaging in community composting. The purpose is to reduce the amount of organic waste that is being deposited in our maxed out landfills and drastically reduce green house gases. Additionally, research and development in the areas of 'greener' products like organic utensils.
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the start of this project has been delayed until further notice.
