Whether you&rsquo;re a backyard composter looking to troubleshoot, a household unsure what can really go in your curbside bin, or simply compost curious, you&rsquo;ll walk away with useful insights. At the DC Community Compost Cooperative Site at the Newark Street Community Garden Elana will demonstrate how composting works, talk about various ways to compost in the region and allow ample time for questions. Any and all questions are welcome! Keeping with the food waste prevention theme, we&rsquo;ll also have an optional scrappy baking potluck at some picnic tables in the community garden. If you&rsquo;d like, find a spice or another shelf stable item that&rsquo;s gone unused. If it passes the senses test, turn it into a baked good to share! This event is free and open to Dames and the public. Registration in advance is required. Space is limited. About Elana:Elana works on efforts to advance composting and compost use at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. She previously led national composting efforts at the U.S. EPA, where she worked for 21 years. Outside of work, she&rsquo;s a gardener and cook and enjoys finding creative ways to use food that we might otherwise toss. Directions to the specific site will be emailed to registrants before the event. Hosted by Les Dames d&rsquo;Escoffier, Washington DC Regional Chapter, this program reflects our commitment to sustainable food, mentoring, and community service. You&rsquo;ll leave with clear steps to start or improve your own composting practice. 🌱♻️
