Event Details

 On March 30th, we welcome Daniel Tainow, Compost Educator, from the Queens Botanical Garden to discuss how we can conpost in our urban homes! 

The average New York City household throws away two pounds of organic waste each day. This adds up to over one million tons of organic waste per year, most of which is transported to landfills. The transportation of waste is very expensive and causes pollution. When organic waste is buried in landfills, it is cut off from oxygen and decomposers. By throwing away compostable materials we not only use up precious landfill space, we also discard a valuable resource that can help to grow beautiful gardens, lawns, and houseplants.

What to bring:

  1. Your favorite organic seasonal dish (and recipe!) to share and find out how you can compost in your home or office!   
  2. your recipe for a chance to win a copy of The Real Food Revival by Sherri Brooks Vinton!
  3. your ConEd account number to sign-up from WIND Power and receive $10 off your next Eco-Eatery Tour! 

What's locally in season at this time? Apples, carrots, onions, potatoes, turnips, winter squash, lettuce and mushrooms.
