You’re Invited To NYC Save Our Compost Professionals Teach In Saturday February 3 At The Roosevelt Island Garden Club – Family Friendly, Bring Your Food Scraps And Friends

The Roosevelt Island Garden Club reports:

We are hosting a fun Compost Teach-in on Roosevelt Island Saturday, February 3.

Folks can bring their food scraps out to the community garden on that day. (You can bring a friend, too, but we won’t compost them 🙂 .

Two great teachers from the NYC Save Our Compost Coalition (Gil Lopez and Greta Wong) will be there as well as lots of participating organizations:

• 
  Haki Compost Collective ,
• BigReuse,
• iDig2Learn,
• 
  Roosevelt Island Garden Club ,
• 
  Nurture BK Compost.

Just in…this great Op Ed written by Greta Wong was published January 30 in City Limits!

Our best hope for a better future lies in communities coming together to care for the land we inhabit. Losing city-funded community composting programs will make that much harder. https://t.co/1lQuD8qAIX

As previously reported , the Roosevelt Island Haki Compost Collective Saturday Food Scrap drop off site was ended last December 16 (at least temporarily, for now)

due to NYC Mayoral budget cuts.
