ICAW 2021 a Big Success Thanks to So Many

The Foundation’s Board of Trustees, CREF staff and members of the ICAW Committee would like to thank everyone who worked so hard for International Compost Awareness Week this year. It was difficult to even keep up with everything going on across the country. From the kick-off event held at Brooklyn Grange, a New York rooftop farm, to the chapters coming together to hold a fascinating webinar with Finian Makepeace from Kiss the Ground, to daily events offered in Illinois, Minnesota, Florida and so many other places, it was very exciting to see the level of engagement and enthusiasm from so many.

What it all comes down to is that because of all this hard work, greater numbers of people across the country now know more about the benefits of organics recycling and compost use, ultimately leading to more yard and food waste being composted and more people using compost.

What’s the next step for ICAW? It’s to pick the new theme sometime this summer and then start the new poster and video contests early in the fall. If you have an idea for a theme you would like the ICAW Committee to consider, let us know by the first week of June. Send an email to info@compostfoundation.org.
