Bill > SCR70

This resolution designates the week of May 4-10, 2025, as Compost Awareness Week, highlighting the critical environmental and economic benefits of composting. The resolution emphasizes that composting is a sustainable waste reduction method that helps restore soil health, supports the carbon cycle, and reduces dependence on chemical fertilizers. It notes that organic materials comprise over 30 percent of landfill waste and that composting can help communities achieve waste diversion goals. The resolution underscores the broad impact of composting, including creating green jobs, supporting infrastructure, conserving water, reducing erosion, and helping remediate fire-damaged lands. Specifically aligned with the International Compost Awareness Week theme "Sustainable Communities Begin with Compost!", the resolution recognizes that composting can be implemented at various scales, from individual home composters to large-scale facilities, and is essential for developing sustainable resource management and circular economy strategies. The resolution calls for distributing copies of the document to promote awareness of composting's importance.
