Food waste rotting in landfills becomes methane, a potent greenhouse gas. A great way to reduce methane as well as build healthy soils that produce healthier food is by composting. 

The Illinois Food Scrap & Composting Coalition (IFSCC) invites you to celebrate International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW), taking place May 7–13. There will be fun and educational events—in person and online—all week long.

ICAW is the largest and most comprehensive education initiative of the global compost community.
