Over 600 Edible Greens & 200 Pounds Of Vintage Compost Given To Roosevelt Island Neighbors At iDig2Learn & GRIN Plant Therapy Kit Gift-Away Yesterday - Composting Locally Means Organic Matter Never Leaves Roosevelt Island Say's GRIN
Yesterday, Roosevelt Island residents Christina Delfico, founder of iDig2Learn and Anthony Longo, founder of Green Roosevelt Island Neighbors (GRIN),
celebrated the return of our Roosevelt Island Food Scrap Drop Off Site Collection Program by giving away Plant Therapy Kits.
Best day ever! Over 500 delicious edible greens & 200 lbs of vintage 2019 compost given to neighbors in today’s Plant Therapy Kit Gift-away. Yummy kale, bok choy & lettuce helped celebrate the return of @bigreuse food scrap drop off collection compost program, the growth of the newly-created @hakicompost grassroots neighborhood volunteers supporting that compost program & to share the news that Food Scraps have value & show appreciation for neighbors who drop scraps every SAT between 9a - 2p. What comes from the earth can return to the earth and scraps create nutrient-rich compost for growing food. Week by week more neighbors are contributing scraps. Feels so good. Huge big shout out to the Haki volunteers & partners...
Watch Mr Longo describing benefits of local composting at yesterday's Plant Therapy Kit Gift-A-Way. According to Mr. Longo, composting locally means organic matter never leaves Roosevelt Island.
The Roosevelt Island Haki Compost Collective Food Scrap Drop Off Site is located next to the Farmers Market every Saturday Morning and afternoon. Stop by with your food scraps or just talk to the folks to learn more.
@Rooseveltisland gets the big picture connect - food scraps break down into nutrient-rich compost to grow food again. Humans are the only living thing not practicing 0 waste. Take 6 min to understand why scraps 4 compost makes sense! https://t.co/fVAUerV1xz pic.twitter.com/RdUFSSOS1D
