Hi guys!<\/p>\n

Just wanted to put on your radar that FIT had been working on an exciting sustainable project: compost drop-offs!\u00a0This project is a Residence Hal Association (RHA) initiative that focuses on going green and repurposing waste that is biodegradable.<\/p>\n

What is compost you ask? Compost is food scraps and other organic waste\u00a0that can be a useful product that adds nutrients and improves the quality of soil for street trees, gardens and more.<\/p>\n

Food comprises about 17% of NYC’s waste stream, according to GrowNYC. When this material is sent to a landfill it contributes to NYC’s disposal costs and can create greenhouse gas emissions — a major negative.<\/p>\n

Separate anything from banana peels, the leftover hair from your\u00a0hairbrush or even dead flowers. ALL BIODEGRADABLE! See this<\/a> list of 100 items you can compost.<\/p>\n

Bins will be available on 27th street beginning within the first couple of weeks in March: date is TBA.<\/p>\n
