    " . . . The quality of the fruits and vegetables available at grocery stores is terrible. Most are laden with toxic substances, such as sulfates on grapes, pesticides . . . many times fruits and vegetables are imported from foreign countries that use toxic pesticides that are illegal in the United States."

International Compost Awareness Week

April 25th, 2006 - Barbara Feiner

Here’s a post-Earth Day challenge for readers who are dedicated to organic gardening: Work with local government agencies to celebrate International Compost Awareness Week, set for May 7–13.

Sponsored by the U.S. Composting Council, it’s the largest environmental education event for composting. Across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, composting advocates will be encouraging everyone to compost—whether you’re a do-it-yourself gardener or community-based professional.

Urge your mayor or city council to go green by signing a proclamation that supports composting. A sample is available for regional use and modification.
