Este Día de la Tierra, un nuevo kit de compostaje local hace que el compostaje sea accesible para todos

[WASHINGTON, DC] — At a time when deregulation of environmental protections and accelerating climate change are leaving many feeling hopeless, this Earth Day, celebrated April 22, serves as a worldwide call to action for people-powered change.

Local composting is one of the simplest yet most effective ways communities can exercise their power to protect the planet. By diverting food scraps from polluting landfills, sequestering carbon, and growing healthier foods, composting, particularly when done at the local level, can have a big impact — many people just need the tools to start.

Today, the Institute for Local Self-Reliance is answering that call with the launch of its Kit de Compostaje Local, an interactive hub containing over 200 resources that provide a path to action.

For those looking to commemorate Earth Day by getting involved, the toolkit is a place to learn about the benefits of local composting. For those ready to start composting themselves, the toolkit contains home composting resources, including guides and best practices. Advocates for a wide range of environmental issues, from zero waste to healthy soils to climate change, will also find a wide range of policy tools, such as sample policies, climate action plans, and model ordinances.

For Spanish-speaking communities, the toolkit has a built-in auto-translation feature along with Spanish-language guides and outreach materials.
