Compost Awareness Week in Illinois is thanks to the collaborative efforts of State Senator Laura Fine, who introduced a Resolution in the Illinois General Assembly to recognize the week, as well as the U.S. Composting Council, the Illinois Food Scrap Coalition, Collective Resource Compost, and Go Green Winnetka, each of whom was integral to the Resolution’s introduction, promotion, and adoption. Compost Awareness Week in Illinois follows the dates and theme of International Compost Awareness Week(ICAW), a comprehensive publicity and education initiative of the compost industry sponsored by the Compost Research & Education Foundation. This year’s ICAW programming and registration can be found here. Read more about the resolution and benefits of compost here.
