ICAW 2020 Goes Online May 3-9, 2020

The message is still the same even if the way of celebrating International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW) is changing!

Traditionally, we encourage group activities and events during the week of ICAW. Due to COVID-19 social distancing mandates, though, plans for ICAW have shifted toward social media, Zoom, videos, email blasts and other creative ways to share the program’s goal of building awareness on the benefits of compost use and organics recycling are being planned by ICAW coordinators across the country.

Just take a look at the ICAW pages on compostfoundation.org website. You will find a page listing ideas for promoting ICAW 2020, as well as a form people can submit sharing what you plan to do for ICAW this year. If you have interesting plans or short educational videos on compost, or even some great photos from your facility, home composting, garden, etc., send them in so they can be shared!
