The city council confirmed the adoption of the municipal composting pilot program this morning. We are now shifting our focus to monitor the implementation phase to ensure these facilities remain accessible to the public.

We, the undersigned, seek the support and assistance of our elected officials and decision makers to help expand composting in our communities. Composting helps in the following ways:
1. It reduces our use of fossil fuels. Unfortunately we are
using these fuels to process and haul organic waste from
the household to the landfill.
2. It helps reduce the unnecessary use of fertilizers. The
decomposition of plant and kitchen waste can help support
and maintain healthy plant life on our own properties. This
in turn can help assist our animal life.
3. It reduces the use of valuable landfill space. Any tax
savings could be reallocated to other urgent needs.
We seek:
1. Elected officials and decision makers to provide support
for composting by personally experiencing the benefits of
composting in their own backyards.
2. Expanded study of the benefits of composting in all K-12
educational settings.
3. Public service announcements through all media outlets
raising public awareness of the the benefits of composting
to our environment.
Elected officials and decision makers require signatures and contact information to be verified. Please do not use the Facebook option to sign this petition. We will contact you in a followup email to reconfirm your support for the environment and this petition.

DO IT FOR THE PLANET!
Is there a way to force the city to give out bins? I live in an apartment and have no room for a pile outside.
my backyard is full of food scraps and the soil is amazing now. everyone should be doing this.
Why are our taxes still paying for trucks to haul rotting food to the dump when it could just be used as fertilizer? makes no sense.
I was told to sign this
compost is good
stop relying on governments and compost without governments.

Educating school children (k-12) about the benefits of composting is a great way to start a trend that will help reduce the waste going to landfills, encourage home gardening, and a simple way to enrich our planet.
