SUMMARY:The Tiffin Project for Teens! (Woodstock)
DESCRIPTION:The Tiffin Project for Teens!\nSaturday March 21st 2026\n1:00 PM – 2:00 PM\nWoodstock Library\n10 Dixon Ave. Woodstock NY\nSingle-use packaging (like food take-out containers) are wasteful products that are used once\, for a very short period of time\, before being discarded in a landfill where they may take hundreds of years to “break down.” These wasteful single-use products add up to make a big impact on our planet and communities. Luckily\, “low-waste living” and the “Bring Your Own” movement has inspired many people to choose reuse when dining or shopping on-the-go. \nThis workshop is designed for young adults who want to learn about the impact that “take-out” or “to-go” containers have on litter and waterways. Participants will also be introduced to how single use plastics may also affect our health. Most importantly\, participants will learn about the power of reuse through “tiffins” which are reusable stainless steel food containers\, and other ways to avoid single use items when dining on the go! \nAll participants who pre-register will receive a free tiffin at the end of the workshop\, compliments of Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency. This program will be presented by Angelina Brandt\, UCRRA Director of Sustainability at Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency. \nPlease note: this class is for all ages! All are welcome to attend.  \nSign Up Now!  \nInclusive\, accessible classrooms are important to us. Accessibility: Woodstock Library offers 2 handicap accessible parking spaces near the entrance\, and it is a flat walkway to the front door. The facility has a lift to accommodate those who need assistance to the second floor\, where the class will be held. The Library does not require face masks or social distancing; but encourages visitors to practices these if they are comfortable doing so. UCRRA strives to offer equal program opportunities. If you require any special accommodations or have questions about this program\, please contact APEO@UCRRA.ORG or 845-336-3336. \nAbout the Tiffin Project: This project was previously made possible by the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute (NYSP2I) and their Community Grants Program. We share our special thanks to NYS P2I!  The “Ulster County Tiffin Project” (2024) aimed to increase community awareness about the impact of waste reduction and reuse as pollution prevention strategies. Tiffins are multi-tiered\, reusable\, metal food containers that replace wasteful\, nonrecyclable to-go containers when dining out. The project addressed pollution prevention by providing residents with FREE reusable\, stainless steel Tiffin containers that eliminate their single-use\, disposable counterparts. The Project called on community members to rethink waste through zero waste practices\, resulting in improved public health and environmental conservation. Through innovative community engagement\,  our Tiffin Project workshop series explored the amount of single use packaging waste generated from food service\, the environmental harms and potential health harms associated with single use packaging\, and those items most likely to become litter\, and together we will celebrate the many benefits of reusable alternatives!

SUMMARY:Working with Worms & Seed Bombs (Gardiner Library)
DESCRIPTION:Working with Worms & Seed Bombs\nThursday\, June 20th 2024\n1:00 PM – 2:00 PM\nGardiner Public LibraryIn this interactive and activity-lead class for kids\, participants will visit two stations where they will learn about making compost with worms\, and about pollinators and how using finished compost can improve soil health. \nPart 1: Composting Worms\nParticipants will hear a brief introduction about what is composting and why it is an important way of protecting our environment. Then\, educators will guide students through an interactive reading of “Compost Stew” by author Mary McKenna Siddals. Participants will then be able to observe a live worm bin\, identify worms at each stage of their lifecycle\, learn about worm ecology\, and learn how to compost indoors using a worm bin. \nPart 2: Making Seed Bombs\nAt this station\, participants will learn that our favorite fruits\, vegetables\, nuts\, seeds\, and other foods rely on Pollinators. Pollinators pollinate 90% of all flowering plants\, but studies have shown that their populations have been declining in recent decades. Participants will create seed balls\, or seed bombs\, which are small clusters of compost\, clay\, and wildflower seeds that are designed to add pollinator habitats to urban landscapes\, neglected areas\, or wherever you’d like! All craft materials will be provided. \nThis FREE workshop is suitable for children ages 7 and up\, and parental supervision is advised. \nAccessibility:The Gardiner Library strives to ensure its building is fully accessible in support of our mission to provide valuable resources and services to all residents in Gardiner. This commitment includes making every effort to improve accessibility and working to acquire the funding necessary to make key improvements. A wheelchair accessible ramp is available to enter the Library. Accessible parking is available to the side of the building. This program will take place on the main level\, no elevator or stairs required to access the meeting room. Masks and social distancing are not required at this time\, but they are encouraged. \nUCRRA strives to offer equal program opportunities. Educational resources in Spanish are available by request.

SUMMARY:Working with Worms & Seed Bombs (Esopus Library)
DESCRIPTION:Working with Worms & Seed Bombs\nWednesday\, June 21st 2023\n3:00 PM – 4:00 PM\nEsopus Public LibraryIn this interactive and activity-lead class for kids\, participants will visit two stations where they will learn about making compost with worms\, and about pollinators and how using finished compost can improve soil health. \nPart 1: Composting Worms\nParticipants will hear a brief introduction about what is composting and why it is an important way of protecting our environment. Then\, educators will guide students through an interactive reading of “Compost Stew” by author Mary McKenna Siddals. Participants will then be able to observe a live worm bin\, identify worms at each stage of their lifecycle\, learn about worm ecology\, and learn how to compost indoors using a worm bin. \nPart 2: Making Seed Bombs\nAt this station\, participants will learn that our favorite fruits\, vegetables\, nuts\, seeds\, and other foods rely on Pollinators. Pollinators pollinate 90% of all flowering plants\, but studies have shown that their populations have been declining in recent decades. Participants will create seed balls\, or seed bombs\, which are small clusters of compost\, clay\, and wildflower seeds that are designed to add pollinator habitats to urban landscapes\, neglected areas\, or wherever you’d like! All craft materials will be provided. \nThis FREE workshop is suitable for children ages 7 and up\, and parental supervision is advised. \nAccessibility: The Library is fully wheelchair accessible. Our parking lot has four (4) parking spots with ‘improved accessibility’. Automatic doors at the main entrances\, along with an elevator\, provide access to the entire building. In the event that the elevator is out of order\, patrons may enter and exit via the lower level entrance. All rooms have been labeled with Braille and utilities placed at easy to reach heights. The service desk is equipped with a laptop and MS Word that allows staff to communicate with patrons with hearing/speech disabilities. The language interpretation feature in MS Word also allows communication between staff and patrons who primarily speak a language other than English. The Town of Esopus Library staff will work with any community member to accommodate them to the best of their capabilities\, and within the policies and procedures of the Library. All are welcome to our programs. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian of any particular child to help with the child’s participation and behavior. \nUCRRA strives to offer equal program opportunities. Educational resources in Spanish are available by request.

SUMMARY:*EVENT CANCELLED* Upcycled Reusable Bags for Kids!
DESCRIPTION:Upcycled Reusable Bags for Kids!\nFriday\, May 19th 2023\n4:00 PM – 5:15 PM\nWoodstock Public Library DistrictDid you know that Americans use 100 billion plastic bags per year\, which require 12 million barrels of oil to manufacture? Each single-use plastic bag is used for less than an hour\, but the effects last forever. Since plastic bags are lightweight\, they easily enter our environment as litter. Sea creatures can become entangled in them and mistake plastic bags for food\, resulting in toxic debris filling their stomachs. \nThis class will be hosted at the Woodstock Public Library and facilitated by the UCRRA Recycling Outreach Team. Participants will learn how to reduce plastic pollution in their everyday lives as well as the benefits of waste reduction. Participants will have the opportunity to upcycle their old t-shirt into a reusable eco-friendly bag for use on the go! Upcycling is a fun and creative way to repurpose old items into new\, useful items or works of art! This FREE workshop is suitable for children ages 7 and up\, and parental supervision is advised. \nPlease bring an old t-shirt to be upcycled! \nAccessibility: A wheelchair accessible ramp is available to enter the main library. Accessible parking is available to the side of the building\, and additional parking spots are available across the street. This program will take place upstairs\, where there is no elevator or lift. Masks and social distancing are not required at this time\, but they are recommended. \nWe strive to offer equal program opportunities. Educational resources in Spanish are available by request.

We’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 Event!
