We'd love your help! We've got two weeks to have some fun on a project thats a win-win-win-win (not sure about the 4th win but probably with your help it will be). We won't make you pick up compost with your pal Blue the Raccoon, we got that covered.

Joe DeNicola of @CTDEEPNews shares positive results from pilot programs to divert #foodwaste to #composting/digestion. All the participating towns showed participation and savings! We all need to find ways to keep food out of our trash to save tax $ & tackle #ctwastecrisis
Worth sharing again, some updates on one of our town pilot programs in West Hartford. Thanks to @WeHartford for covering: we-ha.com/west-hartford-food…

The cycle of food presents many different challenges, making sure good food is recovered and not wastefully thrown away or even composted is vital to making a better system for all.
Great community organizations like Haven's Harvest make this work happen every day. Check out this article from the Hartford Courant for more: courant.com/2023/06/26/food-…
We won't beat around the bush. We are really disappointed by the inaction of our state representatives on the issue of waste. Because of this, we're going to suffer a loss of momentum at the state level at a time when we need to ramp up.
Food waste as solution to CT's trash problems is dumped by the legislature ctmirror.org/2023/06/21/ct-f…
We believe in this future and will keep advocating for it. The good news is that in the meantime, there's still so much you can do as an individual or by using your influence in the businesses and institutions that are in your community. Let's make it happen together.
And a shoutout to @janellens for continuing to cover vital topics about environment and future.
