Our educators will also be distributing educational resources about reducing wasted food and home composting best practices.

Pre-order now! 000Weeks0000Days00Hrs00Min00SecWe’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. \n2022 Theme: Recipe for Regeneration: Compost! Each year\, a new theme for ICAW is chosen. The 2022 theme highlights the overall regenerative agriculture movement and how compost and organics recycling fit into that process. Regenerative agriculture is a system that focuses on improving soil health using agricultural practices with the idea that healthier soil will lead to healthier\, more nutrient-rich crops and\, ultimately\, less carbon in the atmosphere through increased carbon sequestration.  Compost\, when added to farmland\, gardens\, yards\, and other landscapes creates healthier soils and crops by providing food for soil microbes in the ground. These microbes enrich soil quality while also sequestering carbon in the soil through photosynthesis\, a tool for combating climate change. Just as a chef pulls together the best ingredients to create the perfect recipe\, the 2022 theme focuses on the crucial role recycling our food scraps  plays by creating compost\, which when added to soil results in a recipe that makes our food more nutritious\, the air we breathe cleaner and our climate healthier overall. \nThis year’s winner of the ICAW 2022 Poster Contest is Angelo Esquivel from Sacramento\, CA.  \nDisclaimer: UCRRA does not make any warranty or representation\, expressed or implied\, regarding the compost bins or other equipment offered for sale by BrandBuilders\, LLC.

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.
