Composting for Sustainability Talk at The Westport Library

Learn the "how" and "why" of composting with Westport-based author Scott Smith, Park City Compost Initiative founder and executive director Tim O'Connor, and Sustainable Westport co-director Gately Ross.

Composting not only benefits a backyard garden; it can be a simple, homemade solution for bigger issues such as reducing waste, improving soil, boosting biodiversity, and combating climate change. Backyard composting also strengthens efforts in making communities more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Whether you have a garden or not, composting can be a small way to make a big change.

Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
