Food and Garden Notes

Quaker Group to Offer Composting Info at TCFL – Easton Branch

A group of Quakers who compost at home will be in the lobby of the TCFL on national ‘Learn About Composting’ Day 3/29. This group is hoping to encourage more recycling of food scraps at home and in the community.

“According to a June 2021 Bay Journal article, rotting food in Maryland landfills is our #1 contributor of methane, a greenhouse gas 30-80x more powerful than CO2,” notes Jonathan Williams, a member of the local Society of Friends group.

The article goes on to quote the Maryland Dept. of Environment as agreeing with the assessment and further quotes former MDE head, Ben Grumbles, as stating, “The revised estimates reinforce the need for new actions to control methane emissions from landfills and also boost efforts to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills, which is exactly what we are doing.”

Back in 2014, Talbot County participated in a trial of a medium-sized composting system which created decent compost from Hanover Foods, Hummingbird Farms and North Caroline High School.

Information on home and community composting will be available during the morning of Wednesday the 29th. Also, on Earth Day, 4/22, the group will host a compost ‘Expo’ with speakers and a demonstration of the home-made compost unit onsite at Third Haven Society of Friends.
