SUMMARY:Earth Day at UCRRA
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, April 20th\, residents who drop off electronics for recycling and/or residents that pick up an order of bagged compost will receive a free tree sapling/shrub as our gift to you to celebrate Earth Day! Please note: tree saplings/shrubs will be distributed while supplies last\, with limited inventory available\, and several different options to choose from! \nThis program is made possible by the Ulster County Soil & Water Conservation District. The organization has shared excess inventory from their Annual Sale. While we cannot guarantee which tree/shrub species will be available; the giveaway may include the following species: \nBlack Chokeberry* (1)\,  Silky Dogwood (2)\, Pin Oak (3)\, Sugar Maple (4)\, Tulip Polar (5)\, American Hazlenut (6)\, Arrowwood Viburnum (7) \n*Species are numbered as they appear in the attached photo. All species are native varieties: saplings may range in size from 6 inches to 2 feet. \nAccessibility: This is an outdoor event. On arrival at the Main Office parking area\, ask an attendant about the tree distribution station. Residents may park in designated parking areas to collect a tree/shrub. We can also accommodate curbside service.  \nInstructions for Planting Trees & Shrubs\nSource: United States Composting Council (USCC) Consumer Compost Use Program \nEstablishment: Excavate a planting hole slightly shallower and 2 to 3 times the width of the root ball or container. Set the root ball on firm soil so that the top of the root ball sits slightly higher than the final grade. Uniformly blend compost with the excavated soil at one (1) part by volume compost to 2-3 parts by volume soil. Compost with higher amounts of salts and nutrients should be used at lower rates (e.g. 1:3 or 1:4 parts compost to soil). Backfill and firm the soil blend around the root ball within the planting hole. Always water thoroughly after planting. It should be noted that whenever possible\, trees and shrubs should be planted in a mass planting bed\, where multiple plants are established in a larger amended bed. This technique allows for greater planting success. Lower compost application rates should be used for salt sensitive crops (e.g.\, conifers)\, or where composts possessing higher salt and nutrient levels are used\, while higher application rates may be used for plants that require greater amounts of fertility. \nMaintenance: Apply a coarser compost mulch (1” – 2” screened) over the garden bed to conserve moisture\, for weed suppression\nand/or for aesthetic purposes. Note: The nutrients contained in compost should be considered when applying fertilization. They\nwill typically offset plant nutrient requirements\, thereby potentially reducing fertilizer application rates. \nCompost has many horticultural benefits and uses. \n\nCompost adds a slow release of nutrients\nCompost adds beneficial soil organisms\, reducing the need to use chemical pesticides\nCompost aids in suppressing plant disease pathogens\, reducing the need to use chemical fertilizers\nCompost increases moisture retention\, so you don’t need to add water to garden beds as frequently\nCompost helps improve soil structure\, porosity\, and density\nCompost makes any soil easier to work and cultivate\n\nDisclaimer: The USCC makes no warranties regarding UCRRA’s Compost product or its contents\, quality\, or suitability for any particular use. Please refer to the individual producer’s product label for specific use instructions. \nLearn more by viewing the UCRRA Rack Card Tree & Shrub \nLearn more about the Agency’s Certified Compost by viewing the UCRRA Brochure STA Program \nWe’re Celebrating Earth Day! \nThe first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970\, when a U.S. Senator organized a national demonstration about environmental issues and environmental conservation. By the end of the year\, the Environmental Protection Agency was created. And by 1990\, Earth Day was celebrated internationally by 140 countries. \nAccording to National Geographic\, roughly 15 billion trees are cut down each year around the globe. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen\, essential for life on Earth! Trees also provide shelter and food for wildlife and help cool the climate. By taking part in activities like planting trees\, and using compost\, we can all do our part to create a healthier\, more sustainable planet. \nRecycled Paper Facts: \nBy weight\, more paper is recovered for recycling in America than all other materials combined (except for steel). In 1988\, recovered paper made up about 25 percent of the raw materials used at US paper mills.  That figure rose to 36.3 percent in 1999 and has remained around 36-37 percent through 2007. More than 3/4 of America’s paper mills use recovered fiber to make some or all of their products. Approximately 140 mills use recovered paper exclusively. As a result\, virtually all types of paper products contain some recycled fiber. Since 1994\, significantly more paper has been recovered in America than landfilled.

SUMMARY:Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story
DESCRIPTION:_ \nTuesday\,March 19th\, 2024\n3:30 PM – 5:00 PM\nSUNY New Paltz\nCSB (Coykendall Science Building) Auditorium\nSign Up Now_ \nThis FREE event is a collaboration between the Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency and Brett Barry\, SUNY New Paltz Professor. The film is approximately an hour long and will include an introduction to UCRRA services as well as a Q&A session with UCRRA’s Recycling Educator\, Tanesia White at the end. FREE resources on food waste reduction and composting will be available. If you have any questions\, please reach out to twhi@ucrra.org. \nWe all love food. As a culture\, we devour countless cooking shows\, culinary magazines and foodie blogs… So how could we possibly be throwing nearly 50% of it in the trash? \n_ \n\nAbout the Film:\n\nFilmmakers and food lovers Jen and Grant dive into the issue of waste from farm\, through retail\, all the way to the back of their own fridge. After catching a glimpse of the billions of dollars of good food that is tossed each year in North America\, they pledge to quit grocery shopping cold turkey and survive only on foods that would otherwise be thrown away. In a nation where one in 10 people is food insecure\, the images they capture of squandered groceries are both shocking and strangely compelling. But as Grant’s addictive personality turns full tilt towards food rescue\, the ‘thrill of the find’ has unexpected consequences. Featuring interviews with TED lecturer\, author and activist Tristram Stuart and acclaimed author Jonathan Bloom\, Just Eat It looks at our systemic obsession with expiry dates\, perfect produce and portion sizes\, and reveals the core of this seemingly insignificant issue that is having devastating consequences around the globe. Just Eat It brings farmers\, retailers\, inspiring organizations\, and consumers to the table in a cinematic story that is equal parts education and delicious entertainment.\n\n\n\n\n_ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n_ \nDetails\n\nRunning Time: Educational cut 50 min\nDirector: Grant Baldwin\nProducer: Jenny Rustemeyer\nExecutive Producers: Melanie Wood (Stranger Productions)\, Murray Battle (Knowledge Network)\n\nAwards\n\nBest Documentary – Leo Awards\nBest Documentary Director – Leo Awards\nBest Documentary Musical Score – Leo Awards\nAudience Award – CPH:DOX\nVIFF Impact Award – Vancouver International Film Festival\nEmerging Canadian Filmmaker & Top 20 Audience Choice – Hot Docs\nPeople’s Choice Award – Calgary International Film Festival\nBest Canadian Documentary – Edmonton International Film Festival\nMust See BC Winner & Runner Up Most Popular Documentary – Vancouver International Film Festival\nBest Canadian Feature – Planet in Focus\n2015 Festival Choice – One Earth Film Festival\nBest Environmental Film – Sedona International Film Festival\nGrand Jury Prize – Yale Environmental (EFFY)\nBest Documentary – Lake Erie Arts and Film Festival\nTop 20 Audience Choice – IDFA\nTop 20 Audience Picks – Hot Docs\nRunner Up Most Popular Documentary – Vancouver International Film Festival\nFinalist – CINE Golden Eagle Award (Nonfiction Content\, Feature – Environment and Science)\nFinalist – James Beard Awards (Documentary)\nFinalist – Scripps Howard Award for Environmental Reporting

SUMMARY:Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story
DESCRIPTION:UCRRA & the Shandaken Conservation Advisory Council have partnered with the Phoenicia Playhouse Community Theatre for this community screening of the educational documentary Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story. The 1:00 PM Sunday showing on August 20th\, 2023 will feature FREE ADMISSION\, sponsored by the Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency. We all love food. As a culture\, we devour countless cooking shows\, culinary magazines and foodie blogs… So how could we possibly be throwing nearly 50% of it in the trash? \n\nAbout the Film:\n\nFilmmakers and food lovers Jen and Grant dive into the issue of waste from farm\, through retail\, all the way to the back of their own fridge. After catching a glimpse of the billions of dollars of good food that is tossed each year in North America\, they pledge to quit grocery shopping cold turkey and survive only on foods that would otherwise be thrown away. In a nation where one in 10 people is food insecure\, the images they capture of squandered groceries are both shocking and strangely compelling. But as Grant’s addictive personality turns full tilt towards food rescue\, the ‘thrill of the find’ has unexpected consequences. Featuring interviews with TED lecturer\, author and activist Tristram Stuart and acclaimed author Jonathan Bloom\, Just Eat It looks at our systemic obsession with expiry dates\, perfect produce and portion sizes\, and reveals the core of this seemingly insignificant issue that is having devastating consequences around the globe. Just Eat It brings farmers\, retailers\, inspiring organizations\, and consumers to the table in a cinematic story that is equal parts education and delicious entertainment.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\nRunning Time: Educational cut 50 min\nDirector: Grant Baldwin\nProducer: Jenny Rustemeyer\nExecutive Producers: Melanie Wood (Stranger Productions)\, Murray Battle (Knowledge Network)\n\nAwards\n\nBest Documentary – Leo Awards\nBest Documentary Director – Leo Awards\nBest Documentary Musical Score – Leo Awards\nAudience Award – CPH:DOX\nVIFF Impact Award – Vancouver International Film Festival\nEmerging Canadian Filmmaker & Top 20 Audience Choice – Hot Docs\nPeople’s Choice Award – Calgary International Film Festival\nBest Canadian Documentary – Edmonton International Film Festival\nMust See BC Winner & Runner Up Most Popular Documentary – Vancouver International Film Festival\nBest Canadian Feature – Planet in Focus\n2015 Festival Choice – One Earth Film Festival\nBest Environmental Film – Sedona International Film Festival\nGrand Jury Prize – Yale Environmental (EFFY)\nBest Documentary – Lake Erie Arts and Film Festival\nTop 20 Audience Choice – IDFA\nTop 20 Audience Picks – Hot Docs\nRunner Up Most Popular Documentary – Vancouver International Film Festival\nFinalist – CINE Golden Eagle Award (Nonfiction Content\, Feature – Environment and Science)\nFinalist – James Beard Awards (Documentary)\nFinalist – Scripps Howard Award for Environmental Reporting

SUMMARY:Intro to Bokashi (New Paltz)
DESCRIPTION: New Paltz Climate Smart Task Force & UCRRA Present:\n“Intro to Bokashi Composting”\nCelebrating Compost Awareness Week!\n \nTuesday\, May 2nd 2023\n7:00 – 8:30 PM\nNew Paltz Community Center\n3 Veterans Dr\, New Paltz\, NY 12561\nUnlike “conventional” composting\, Bokashi is an anaerobic process where food scraps are placed in a sealed\, air-tight container and are fermented with the aid of a specialized additive (a microbial compost accelerator). After a few weeks of fermenting\, the “unfinished” byproduct of bokashi should be added to a backyard compost pile to complete the decomposition process. \nFor many advanced composters\, bokashi methods have a lot to offer as a way to manage meat\, bones\, and dairy products. Using Bokashi can also introduce beneficial microbes to the compost pile\, which speeds up the process so you can use your finished compost faster. Join us to learn about the wacky world of microbes and this interesting method of composting! \nThis workshop is designed for intermediate composters who want to take their composting to the next level. In this workshop\, participants will learn the pros/cons of this method of composting\, be introduced to the science behind how bokashi works\, and learn how to get started (materials needed\, recipes\, tips and more). \nThis workshop is held in partnership with New Paltz Climate Smart Task Force and will be hosted by Tanesia White\, Recycling Educator of the Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency. Class size is limited and participants must pre-register below: \nSign Up Now! Accessibility: \nWe strive to offer equal program opportunities. Educational resources in Spanish are available by request. If you require any special accommodations or have questions about this program\, please contact Tanesia White\, Recycling Educator\, at TWHI@UCRRA.ORG  or 845-336-3336. \nWe’re Celebrating Compost Awareness Week! \nAbout ICAW: International Compost Awareness Week  is the largest and most comprehensive education initiative of the compost industry. It’s celebrated nationwide\, internationally\, and officially across New York Stare each year during the first full week of May. The goal of ICAW is for communities everywhere to raise public awareness about the many benefits of composting and how to make and use compost to regenerate soils. Visit the New York Compost Awareness Week page for more information about local programs\, events\, and initiatives. \n2023 Theme: For Healthier Soil\, Healthier Food…Compost! Each year\, a new theme for ICAW is chosen. The 2023 theme was chosen based on a serious world-wide issue that every nation\, unfortunately\, experiences: hunger. As part of the ICAW committee’s global discussion with our international partners around the world\, we spoke the same language\, and all wanted to promote a unified theme – aligning a topic important to each country while emphasizing our work with compost. The chosen 2023 theme best reflects the goal of focusing on how compost can have a role in helping feed the world\, by making our soil healthier which produces healthier food. How does compost help? By recycling organics into compost and using it on our farmlands we create healthy soils that produce healthier food and higher yields. It also reduces the need for fertilizer and pesticides\, improves water quality and conserves water\, as well as stores carbon in soil – helping to reduce climate change. Compost not only helps the environment but also helps to decrease food shortages experienced around the world. For Healthier Soil\, Healthier Food…Compost! \nThis year’s winner of the ICAW 2023 Poster Contest is Jun Qi Tan\, an illustrator and storyteller from Singapore. \nShare This Info!

SUMMARY:Earth Day at UCRRA
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, April 22nd\, residents that drop off electronics for recycling and/or residents that pick up an order of bagged compost will receive a free tree sapling/shrub as our gift to you to celebrate Earth Day! Please note: tree saplings/shrubs will be distributed while supplies last\, with limited inventory available\, and several different options to choose from! \nThis program is made possible by the Ulster County Soil & Water Conservation District. The organization has shared excess inventory from their Annual Sale. While we cannot guarantee which tree/shrub species will be available; the giveaway may include the following species: \nArrowwood Viburnum (1)\, Black Chokeberry* (2)\, White Flowering Dogwood* (3)\, White Oak (4)\, White Pine(5)\, Red Maple (6)\, Eastern Redbud* (7)\, Red Osher (8)\, Paper Birch (9) \n*Indicates pollinator-friendly species. All species are native varieties. Saplings may range in size from 6 inches to 2 feet. \nAccessibility: This is an outdoor event. There will be a station for the tree distribution where residents may park in designated parking area to walk over to an outreach booth for more information and for trees. We can also accommodate curbside service. We encourage all visitors to practice social distancing.  \nInstructions for Planting Trees & Shrubs\nSource: United States Composting Council (USCC) Consumer Compost Use Program \nEstablishment: Excavate a planting hole slightly shallower and 2 to 3 times the width of the root ball or container. Set the root ball on firm soil so that the top of the root ball sits slightly higher than the final grade. Uniformly blend compost with the excavated soil at one (1) part by volume compost to 2-3 parts by volume soil. Compost with higher amounts of salts and nutrients should be used at lower rates (e.g. 1:3 or 1:4 parts compost to soil). Backfill and firm the soil blend around the root ball within the planting hole. Always water thoroughly after planting. It should be noted that whenever possible\, trees and shrubs should be planted in a mass planting bed\, where multiple plants are established in a larger amended bed. This technique allows for greater planting success. Lower compost application rates should be used for salt sensitive crops (e.g.\, conifers)\, or where composts possessing higher salt and nutrient levels are used\, while higher application rates may be used for plants that require greater amounts of fertility. \nMaintenance: Apply a coarser compost mulch (1” – 2” screened) over the garden bed to conserve moisture\, for weed suppression\nand/or for aesthetic purposes. Note: The nutrients contained in compost should be considered when applying fertilization. They\nwill typically offset plant nutrient requirements\, thereby potentially reducing fertilizer application rates. \nCompost has many horticultural benefits and uses. \n\nCompost adds a slow release of nutrients\nCompost adds beneficial soil organisms\, reducing the need to use chemical pesticides\nCompost aids in suppressing plant disease pathogens\, reducing the need to use chemical fertilizers\nCompost increases moisture retention\, so you don’t need to add water to garden beds as frequently\nCompost helps improve soil structure\, porosity\, and density\nCompost makes any soil easier to work and cultivate\n\nDisclaimer: The USCC makes no warranties regarding UCRRA’s Compost product or its contents\, quality\, or suitability for any particular use. Please refer to the individual producer’s product label for specific use instructions. \nLearn more by viewing the UCRRA Rack Card Tree & Shrub \nLearn more about the Agency’s Certified Compost by viewing the UCRRA Brochure STA Program \n \nWe’re Celebrating Earth Day! \nThe first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970\, when a U.S. Senator organized a national demonstration about environmental issues and environmental conservation. By the end of the year\, the Environmental Protection Agency was created. And by 1990\, Earth Day was celebrated internationally by 140 countries. \nAccording to National Geographic\, roughly 15 billion trees are cut down each year around the globe. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen\, essential for life on Earth! Trees also provide shelter and food for wildlife and help cool the climate. By taking part in activities like planting trees\, and using compost\, we can all do our part to create a healthier\, more sustainable planet. \nRecycled Paper Facts: \nBy weight\, more paper is recovered for recycling in America than all other materials combined (except for steel). In 1988\, recovered paper made up about 25 percent of the raw materials used at US paper mills.  That figure rose to 36.3 percent in 1999 and has remained around 36-37 percent through 2007. More than 3/4 of America’s paper mills use recovered fiber to make some or all of their products. Approximately 140 mills use recovered paper exclusively. As a result\, virtually all types of paper products contain some recycled fiber. Since 1994\, significantly more paper has been recovered in America than landfilled.

The class will introduce the benefits of organics recycling\, and review some of the science behind how composting works\, and the principles of how to do it correctly. \nParticipants will learn everything they need to know to get started and gain knowledge about the various compost bin options and the pros and cons of each. Each participant will go home with a free kitchen food scrap collection container to help them get started! \nAt the end of the seminar\, participants will learn why using compost is beneficial for soil health\, and will learn how to use their compost right in their own backyard. \nThis class will be offered in person at the Town of Rosendale Public Library\, with hosts Angelina Brandt\, Director of Sustainability and Tanesia White\, Recycling Educator of the Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency.  Please pre-register by Monday\, October 3rd.  Register by clicking the button below.  \nSign Up for this Class! Accessibility: This event will take place in the outdoor gazebo behind the library\, which is a short walk from the parking area along a paved surface.

SUMMARY:Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating International Compost Awareness Week!\nUCRRA has partnered with Upstate Films & The Orpheum Theater for this community screening of the educational documentary Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story. The 1PM Sunday showing on May 1st will feature FREE ADMISSION\, sponsored by the Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency. This program is the kick-off event for UCRRA’s Compost Awareness Week\, celebrated statewide and internationally. A panel style Q&A about local composting initiatives will follow the screening. Visit the Compost Awareness Week outreach table for more information about reducing wasted food\, backyard composting and more! \nWe all love food. As a society\, we devour countless cooking shows\, culinary magazines and foodie blogs… So how could we possibly be throwing nearly 50% of it in the trash?\n\n\n\nSynopsis\n\nFilmmakers and food lovers Jen and Grant dive into the issue of waste from farm\, through retail\, all the way to the back of their own fridge. After catching a glimpse of the billions of dollars of good food that is tossed each year in North America\, they pledge to quit grocery shopping cold turkey and survive only on foods that would otherwise be thrown away. In a nation where one in 10 people is food insecure\, the images they capture of squandered groceries are both shocking and strangely compelling. But as Grant’s addictive personality turns full tilt towards food rescue\, the ‘thrill of the find’ has unexpected consequences. Featuring interviews with TED lecturer\, author and activist Tristram Stuart and acclaimed author Jonathan Bloom\, Just Eat It looks at our systemic obsession with expiry dates\, perfect produce and portion sizes\, and reveals the core of this seemingly insignificant issue that is having devastating consequences around the globe. Just Eat It brings farmers\, retailers\, inspiring organizations\, and consumers to the table in a cinematic story that is equal parts education and delicious entertainment.\n\n\nUpstate Films at the Orpheum offer a ticket link on their website.
