Methane Action Planning Group - Let's Start a Movement

[Chris]

Hi, it's Chris with COOLNow, According to a 2018 study by EPA, as much as 35% of food from retailers, wholesalers, restaurants, residential and institutional community members heads straight to the landfill instead of filling bellies or being composted. The Zero Waste Food Act of 2021 is a reasonable path to challenge that status quo, but maybe we can also meet this challenge regionally. Let's start a movement together to remanage those resources where they belong. Check out meeting details below. Thank you. C

The Compostable Organics Out Of Landfill (COOLNow) Chair Richard Anthony invites compost and resource management professionals and community organizers to attend this urgent call to action. We will discuss current initiatives, brainstorm and plan Spring activities, monthly state or regional virtual meetings and quarterly network meetings. This campaign will support local organizers in expanding their programs to remanage organics out of landfills and into composting facilities in order to reduce methane emissions and promote healthy soils.
