International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW) Coming Soon

ICAW 2021 is only a couple of weeks away. It starts on May 2 and runs until May 8. Whether you're doing everything online or a mix of online and socially-distanced outside activities, there are lots of creative ways for you to help share the ICAW message on the importance of organics recycling and the many benefits of compost use.

If you need any help with your ICAW plans, a good place to start is going to the ICAW website, where we have many ICAW pages, resources and attachments - all ready to help you with your planning.

Here are just a few ways to get involved:

• Go to our event page to see what other people are planning across the country. Make sure you enter your plans too so you can connect with people in your community and with others across the country.
• Order copies of the poster to hang at work, home, schools, farmers markets, or give them to your legislators. The poster is available for sale. Your purchase helps fund more ICAW projects and activities.
• Follow us on social media. We're on Facebook, Instagram (@icawusa), and we have an ICAW YouTube Channel. Use these hashtags #icaw2021, #groweatcompostrepeat, #icaw and #compost.
