Working towards zero waste, the purpose of the Neighborhood Compost Campaign is to promote composting through a variety of outreach methods with the goal of increasing both participation and volume.
Starting on February 1st, SF Environment will launch the compost campaign in the Sunset area (exact routes are being determined) We will be knocking on roughly 6800 doors, and talking with neighbors about composting. A true grassroots effort!
You need only to attend one training session and then commit to walk a city block, unless you have campaign or grassroots experience and would like to take a role as one of our 20 needed field managers. Also, we need some creativity in giving each of the teams names---One thought I had was that we could call each team a compostable item. For example, the coffee cup team. Other ideas are welcomed. We also need people who may not be able to walk but could assemble the clipboards and walking materials.
So far, our team of volunteer activists are calling themselves the Green
Guardians (possible superpowers included!) totals around 60 folks. To reach the goal of 6800, we need at least 150 to participate by walking one city block.
If 150 people walk one city block, we can reach our goal! Please sign up as soon as you can so we coordinate maps, walking scripts, etc. Chinese speakers needed.
WHAT: Neighborhood Compost Campaign
WHEN: February 1st-15th (Training dates January 12,13,19,20,29) WHERE: Sunset compost routes (TBD)
BE A GREEN GUARDIAN!
