Commuter Composting

This totebag is my gift for Commuter Compost Appreciation Week. (Is it weird that it came in a plastic bag?)

This was Commuter Composter Appreciation Week. The Commuter Compost Project involves a few drop off points set up at some subway stops to make it easy to drop off food scraps to be composted. The project has 3 locations and they figure 410 households have been using the program and dropping off just over 1.5 tons of food scraps during this beginning period. Keeping that much out of the landfills is a good thing in itself but the compost also is used in green spaces around the city.

I am lucky enough to have compost drop offs within walking distance on 6 days a week although the closest Commuter Compost Drop operates only on Tuesday and Thursday. It seems like such a simple thing to do for a big environmental payoff. Thank you Lower East Side Ecology Center!
