Hello Legacy Lead,

I'm sure many of you have seen, heard, and are experiencing what is going on with composting in our city. Just in case you haven't, I wanted to share these petitions, and forward information for providing testimony (from Big Reuse and the NYC Community Composting Coalition below):

Thank you to all the NYC composters who have created this vital resource for us all. We rely on you for a just and sustainable future, and of course, for limiting lead exposure in soil!

Onwards, 

Perl
