We want to hear from YOU about compost
Take our survey to share your thoughts on compost on campus
What is composting?
Composting is the process of using organic material to enrich soil. It's a type of natural fertilizer made of food scraps, which otherwise rot slowly in landfills, releasing methane, or go to incinerators that cause pollution.
How is UMBC doing?
UMBC's Climate Action Plan includes organic waste diversion as a priority. But with 20-30% of trash organic, and limited opportunities to compost on campus, UMBC could collect so much more!
Why do we care?
We all need to do our part to respond to climate change. UMBC shows commitment to environmental justice by supporting the South Baltimore Community Land Trust in their goal to build a community owned and -led compost site. Now, let's improve collection of our valuable organic waste and put it to good use.
The the survey here! The survey is open to everyone on campus: students, faculty, and staff!
