POTSDAM — Clarkson University and partner the Adirondack North Country Association’s (ANCA) Compost for Good (CfG) project have launched their 2nd series of Community Compost Liaison campaigns.
Throughout the coming months, five community-based liaisons will work with a team of Clarkson students, Susan Powers, Director of Clarkson’s Institute for a Sustainable Environment, and CfG coordinator Jennifer Perry to offer a series of workshops, trainings, tabling events, 1:1 consultations, etc. to encourage their communities to adopt food waste reduction and recycling strategies.
In addition to the outreach campaigns, the liaisons and students will work with a total of 20 food waste generators to conduct food waste assessments, identifying opportunities to divert wasted food from landfills or other disposal options that do not recover the value of the food scraps. This year’s campaigns will be hosted in Akwesasne, Canton/Potsdam, Plattsburgh, and the Town of North Elba.
