This is great... we always say it is REDUCE, Reuse, Recycle and Compost.... Redesigning and reducing is the best strategy!

Sorry, I did not get back to you. No our Green Corps program did not. We suspended urban garden composting until March. The main deal is gettig class 2 epa certification. We will pick up composting offsite at that time.
We continue to collect compost from staff and cafe to go to Rosbys however.

Thanks.

Joe Goicochea said… - Hey Beau,
Encouraged to hear the developments taking place in the Cleveland area. We always hear how one person's or business' problem may be solved by another's needs, and this is a great example of how simple parternships can have impressive impacts. Clearly this group has an environmental focus, but there are certainly other important causes that communities face. Hopefully this type of success story will encourage others to be creative as Zero Waste NEO moves forward! Nice job CBG and Cleveland Clinic!

It is too bad they don't make this available year round. These phone books seem to grow like weeds. I was all set to drop mine off two weeks ago and realized it didn't start until June 1.
