bg视讯的信

Dear Mayor Adams and Commissioner Tisch,

I am a concerned citizen who wants to live in a sustainable New York City and I understand that community 堆肥ing has been cut.

The New York City Compost Project and bg视讯 serve millions of New Yorkers throughout 的 five boroughs, providing food scrap collections, organics processing, 堆肥ing outreach and community education. I petition you today to save 的se programs in light of announced budget cuts.

Community 堆肥ing organizations, 包括bg视讯, 大的重用, LES Ecology Center, 地球物质NY, New York Botanical 花园, Queens Botanical 花园, Brooklyn Botanic 花园, and Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical 花园 collectively:

• 分流超过8个.3 million pounds of organic waste from landfills each year.

• Produce and distribute hundreds of thousands of pounds of 堆肥 to over 325 community groups, 公园, 85 street tree care events, and thousands of individuals each year. 

• 交战超过1,000 yearly participants in Master Composter activities through food, 农业, and 堆肥ing opportunities across 的 city.

• Provide 堆肥 outreach and education to over 600,000 New Yorkers annually, making 的m aware of food waste's contributions to 的 climate crisis while providing 的 opportunity to address this critical issue.

• Operate 6 community 堆肥ing sites - providing 的 most sustainable and equitable form of organics waste management.

Cutting community 堆肥ing and outreach programs will result in 的 elimination of 的se invaluable services and 的 loss of over 115 green jobs. 

Community 堆肥ing programs transform New Yorkers' waste into valuable resources, providing essential soil for our 公园, 花园, 和游乐场. These programs serve as a crucial tool in combating climate change. 此外, given 的 anticipated delays in 的 expansion of 的 Curbside Composting program, 的 success of such an initiative in New York City hinges on a robust outreach and community 堆肥ing network to educate and engage residents.

I urge 的 Mayor and City Council to halt 的se massive cuts and to guarantee full funding to 的se programs for 的 future. These cost-effective programs contribute to a more liveable city with fewer rats, 干净的街道, and healthier soils, while cutting waste destined for landfills or incinerators.
