Food Waste Prevention and Recycling Laws help #reduce food waste, increase the amount of excess edible food that's #donated, and bolster food waste recycling programs like #composting. Our new issue brief breaks these laws down: buff.ly/44dZgvt

The “low hanging fruit” of our solid waste problem, if we got food out of the trash we could reduce disposal by 25%. Great first step to phasing out landfills and incinerators. @ilsr @MOF_Mass @otowncompost @CompostBoston @WasteNotCompost @CompostBrooklyn @SierraClub @GAIAnoburn

Thanks to everyone's composting efforts, we're able to make some big changes!

Since moving in, @FCDOPeterAbbott and his family have composted ~1500 pounds of food waste from both official 🇬🇧 events and family meals.
Over the past year, the Abbott's composting has been part of @CityOfBoston Compost Pilot Programme.

In celebration of #EarthDay2023, we used soil (from our in-office composting program with @CompostBoston!) and planted lots of seedlings in all recyclable containers, to grow our own herb & flower garden here in at the office!!!🌷🌱🌻 @EarthDay

Our friends at @compostboston offer a curbside pickup service where you can bring a new life to your scraps! They were generous enough to donate 15 buckets of compost, which came just in time for our pollinator garden maintenance. Visit bit.ly/3MTeErP to sign up!

If just half of food scraps flowing to landfills and incinerators were diverted to community composters, over 50,000 new jobs could be created from composting alone.
That's on par with the coal mining industry.

Looking for an easy way to share the science of composting with your community?
ILSR's Composting for Community team developed a new poster (available in English and Spanish) that colorfully illustrates the 'how' and 'why' of compost.
