Compost Awareness Week May 2-8, 2010
International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW) takes place this year from May 2-8, 2010, with the theme “Compost!…Recycling For a Greener Tomorrow”.
Originally established in 1995, Compost Awareness Week serves the important role of bringing the Compost! message to the attention of the public, business and other groups. Communities, government agencies as well as members of the composting industry utilize the week to promote their specific Compost! messages and programs. The week is designed to promote the benefits of composting and compost use for sustainable resource management, soil health and plant growth.
Be a part of the largest environmental education event for compost and the use of biobased products and renewable resources for “greening” America.
The USCC will be developing a list of ICAW activities, proclamations and press releases for states, counties, and cities, and Public Service Announcements for the event. Additional information as well as sponsor advertising and recognition will be placed on the USCC website www.compostingcouncil.org
