As you know, CUCC is keeping about as much CO2 from the air by composting through Compost Now as we are with our solar panels! Awesome.
As a country, we have got to compost more though. For example, right now, just over 5% of compost facilities nationwide accept food scraps*.
This has to change, and there is a bill in Congress to help: H. R. 4443. The bill provides critical funding to expand New composting and Collection programs across the US and the development of more markets for the finished compost. And it recognizes composting as a conservation practice making compost use eligible for reimbursement for farmers who use compost to improve soil and sequester carbon.
This is a good bill that Compost Now supports.
How can you show your support for H. R. 4443?

Thanks for all that you do!
God’s blessing.
