“Most people don’t realize that we are facing a crisis with capacity at our state landfill – we are literally running out of room.” said Marion Gold, director of the URI College of the Environment and Life Sciences Outreach Center. “We can all take action to address this problem. By composting in our backyards, we can reduce material sent to the landfill by over 10%. Backyard composting is cheaper for society, better for the environment and great for the garden. So we’re looking to train interested individuals to help us spread the word and get the job done.” |
