Compost Happens! [Online; Free; RSVP]

May 11, 2021 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Free

Did you know that the average American household wastes about a third of the food it purchases every year? We’ll be offering a two-part series that examines ways to put your trash can on a diet: in May we’ll learn about the benefits of composting and in June we’ll look at how to prevent food waste altogether. Composting is an easy DIY activity that makes a big impact on resource conservation in your local community, AND, helps reduce methane and carbon emissions that contribute to global climate change.  We’ll show you how simple it is to compost at home, whether you live on a tiny urban lot or in the rural wide open.  We’ll answer all your questions, offer tips for success, and ensure you can compost with confidence!
