About Earth Matter NY:Earth Matter NY Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the art, science, and application of composting in and around New York City. Earth Matter NY accepts and processes food waste as part of DSNY's NYC Compost Project. The NYC Compost Project works to rebuild NYC's soil, neighborhood by neighborhood.Our Mission:Earth Matter NY seeks to reduce the organic waste misdirected in to the garbage stream by encouraging neighbor participation and leadership in composting.We see that: - There is one soil, one air, and one water all commonly held and stewarded by one people, the nurturance of which is critical to a verdant world; and- Organic waste should not be part of modern landfills because the waste of any process is food for other processes; and- Transportation of waste far beyond the source unnecessarily despoils the soil, air, and water; andSociety needs to alter the way waste is treated as part of an integrated, long term solution to food, climate, and energy issues; and - The power to manifest global social change lies within each of us--the challenge to take action rests on our shoulders. We endeavor to:- Compost organic waste locally, on behalf of our members; and - Educate, and, encourage and support ongoing community composting efforts; and - Utilize best practices for the improvement of soil health; and- Promote water conservation practices to reduce the CSO (Combined Sewer Overflow) burden on municipal sewer systems.//For more information about Earth Matter NY please visit: www.earthmatter.orgFor more information about the NYC Compost Project please visit: http://www1.nyc.gov/assets/dsny/site/our-work/reduce-reuse-recycle/community-composting
