#Composting program to provide #Everglades with soil for #CommunityGarden

by Martin Vassolo, March 12, 2025

"Your food scraps could be used to help support the Everglades through a new partnership between the village of #PinecrestFL and the #MiccosukeeTribe.

"Instead of dumping #FoodWaste into crowded #landfills, which produce #methane emissions, the #EvergladesEarthCycleProject will expand Pinecrest's residential composting program and deliver nutrient-rich soil to the #Miccosukee Tribe.

"Driving the news: The project, funded with a $400,000 federal grant and other contributions, calls for installing four new #CompostingBins in Pinecrest and three around #MiamiDade County District 7.

"The initial phase of the program will supply compost to the #SwampyMeadows #CommunityGarden, which grows vegetables just outside the Miccosukee Indian School.

"Another proposal that's been floated is adding new soil to the Everglades' tree islands, though that would need tribal approval, says the Rev. Houston R. Cypress of the #LoveTheEverglades Movement, a partner in the program.

"Cypress told reporters on an airboat ride through the Everglades last week that the tribe teaches 'the essence of being in harmony with nature is giving back to it.'

"'With the Everglades Earth Cycle Project, we're giving back clean and healthy soil; we're giving products that might eventually improve the water quality out here, but we're also giving directly back to local indigenous communities here,' he said.

"Pinecrest already has two free public composting bins, one at the Pinecrest Public Library and another between the Community Center and Pinecrest Gardens."

'Tesco is to begin a trial giving expiring food to customers for free at the end of the day as it tries to cut food waste.

The supermarket will give away some already discounted "yellow sticker" items after 21:30 in some of its smaller Express stores in coming months.'

Which modern, capitalist things support/nudge/afford a lifestyle that's much more connected to nature and our stone-age brains? In a positive manner, so I don't mean "endless scroll = intermittend dopamine hits" or such ilk.

I wonder about for examples:

1. hourly-flexible electricity metering = aligning daily life with the sun (and winds) #SolarPunk #Tibber

2. Steep discounts on supermarket products that are near their sell-before date = hunting & gathering plus avoiding #foodwaste
