Webinar: Albany Composts

Lessons from Albany: Reducing Waste Through Composting

When: Dec 10, 2024 • 10AM PT / 1PM ET
Where: Virtual

Hi everyone,

When cities unite around sustainability, remarkable things happen. I'm excited to invite you to a special webinar that showcases exactly that kind of transformative collaboration: "Lessons from Albany: Reducing Waste Through Composting."

Picture this: A city facing mounting landfill challenges transforms them into opportunities through smart partnerships. That's exactly what's happening in Albany, NY, where an innovative coalition of local government, small businesses, and non-profits is writing a new chapter in community-driven sustainability. Their efforts are not just extending landfill life – they're saving taxpayers millions in future costs while building a more resilient community.

But here's what makes this story truly compelling: it's replicable. Whether you're a local government official, small business owner, non-profit leader, or an engaged citizen, you'll discover practical strategies for building effective public-private partnerships in your own community. From neighborhood composting initiatives to groundbreaking local legislation, Albany's partners are creating a blueprint for lasting change that any community can adapt.

Join us on March 11, 2025, at 10am PT/1pm ET for this free virtual webinar. You'll learn:

• How diverse stakeholders found common ground and built lasting partnerships
• Practical strategies for launching and scaling community composting programs
• Creative approaches to policy and legislation that support organic material diversion
• Real-world solutions to common challenges in multi-stakeholder initiatives

Together, we can transform how our communities think about and manage resources. See you on March 11th!
