Bootstrap Compost

Food Waste Prevention and Recycling Laws help #reduce food waste, increase the amount of excess edible food that's #donated, and bolster food waste recycling programs like #composting. Our new issue brief breaks these laws down: buff.ly/44dZgvt

The “low hanging fruit” of our solid waste problem, if we got food out of the trash we could reduce disposal by 25%. Great first step to phasing out landfills and incinerators. @ilsr @MOF_Mass @otowncompost @CompostBoston @WasteNotCompost @CompostBrooklyn @SierraClub @GAIAnoburn

@OrangeJackius We love opening a bucket topped with flowers! They still hold beauty <3 Thanks for sharing #WhyWeBootstrap

@ProvidenceCNP @pvdschools We are so happy to support school composting in @pvdschools 🥰

Thanks to everyone's composting efforts, we're able to make some big changes! Take a look at how much waste will be diverted thanks to our partners at @CompostBoston, @pvdschools, & Rhode Island Schools Recycling Club!

@UKinBoston @FCDOPeterAbbott @CityOfBoston We are so happy to hear the milestone!!

Since moving in, @FCDOPeterAbbott and his family have composted ~1500 pounds of food waste from both official 🇬🇧 events and family meals. Over the past year, the Abbott's composting has been part of @CityOfBoston Compost Pilot Programme.

🚨NEW EPISODE ALERT🚨 #BuildingLocalPower talks to Cuatro Vientos, a community composting operation driven by environmental & cultural sustainability, seeking financial sustainability. The @solanacenter's Jessica Toth shares why public incentives are 🔑 ilsr.org/composters-dre…

In celebration of #EarthDay2023, we used soil (from our in-office composting program with @CompostBoston!) and planted lots of seedlings in all recyclable containers, to grow our own herb & flower garden here in at the office!!!🌷🌱🌻 @EarthDay

In the meantime, we also have book groups, conversation circles, programs on art, composting (with @CompostBoston!), and the return of our Massachusetts Historical Parks series!

Our friends at @compostboston offer a curbside pickup service where you can bring a new life to your scraps! They were generous enough to donate 15 buckets of compost, which came just in time for our pollinator garden maintenance. Visit bit.ly/3MTeErP to sign up!

@climable Love the enthusiasm! It’s our pleasure. Compost on!

🌎 Earth Month Highlight 🌎 Thanks to @CompostBoston, we are able to compost select food waste in our office! Composting helps the environment by improving soil moisture & nutrient content and downstream water quality! #Compost #EarthMonth2023 #ClimateActivism #ClimateFeminism

@OrangeJackius We appreciate the heads up 🧀🧀🧀😅

If just half of food scraps flowing to landfills and incinerators were diverted to community composters, over 50,000 new jobs could be created from composting alone. That's on par with the coal mining industry. Read our new community composting report: ilsr.org/composting-202…

In the name of smart resource allocation, can we just outlaw junk mail already? #foodforthought

@OrangeJackius And thrilled to have you onboard! Please send any questions or concerns our way and thx for your commitment to composting.

@EnriqueForRI We love to hear it! 😍🪱

I will be introducing legislation to require all public high schools in Rhode Island to offer as part of the curriculum a nutrition, food preparation and cooking course.
