Check out this @SeattleSPU recycling and compost event in Seattle's Chinatown-International District this Friday! There will be Mandarin and Taiwanese language support on site.

@palexcomesalive We apologize for this inconvenience. Our organization was staffing this giveaway, but we'll relay your feedback to the event organizers at Seattle Public Utilities for improvements to future iterations of this event.

@ECOSS Arrived ~920, was told I'm 105th in line and there is only enough for ~100 households. Why the hell is there only enough for 100 households? Dozens of people burned gas to drive here to leave emptyhanded. Figure out a better way to do this.

TOMORROW! Come say hi and get some compost! 🐛🌱

Yesterday we explored the possibilities of building and mobility electrification in a focus group with youth from the Cham community center, in partnership with @SEACityLight ! (Photos used with permission)

⚡️Did you know that electrification and a zero emissions future is possible for our city because Seattle sources the majority (over 80%) of its electricity via hydropower?

⚡️What are the benefits of transportation and building electrification? 💨 Less air pollution 👂Quieter roads and highways 🦖 Less reliance on fossil fuels like gasoline and natural gas which are major air pollutants
