Composting Speaker Speaks to Ludlow Rotary Club

Composting Speaker Speaks to Ludlow Rotary Club

At its recent luncheon meeting, the Ludlow Rotary Club (LRC) listened to Carolyn Grodinsky of Grow Compost of Vermont. LLC., of Waterbury address the subject of composting and its future impact on the state.  In 2012, the Vermont Legislature unanimously passed Act 148, a universal recycling and composting law that offers Vermonters a new set of systems and tools for keeping as much as possible out of the landfill.  Carolyn outlined how her organization is working to help businesses in the state deal with the demands of Act 148 in the handling and disposition of food scraps.  By 2020, the state will require all food scraps to be handled as separate items from trash and other recyclables.  This will effect both residential and business users.  Pictured above is Carolyn Grodinsky, holding a bag of dried compost usable as fertilizer, and Rotarian Alphonsus Harris.  LRC meets for lunch on most Tuesdays at 12:15 pm at DJ's Restaurant.  The LRC is small and is always looking to welcome new members.  If you would like to attend a meeting and learn how you may 'Serve Humanity' while enjoying the fun and fellowship of others, please contact any Rotarian or drop a note to Ludlow Rotary, PO Box 216, Ludlow Vermont.
