I ♥ NY

Two new states!  Although saying that isn't quite as exciting as it was when the states were 400 miles wide...

There wasn't a "Welcome to New York" sign in the middle of the Holland Tunnel...

Well New York was wonderful.  Great food, great friends, great times.  And, great sources.

My professor, Tom Hayden, put me in touch with a master composter in the city.  While I was unable to meet up with her while I was in town, we were able to talk over email a bit, and she sent me a lot of great information.  New York City is home to the NYC Compost Project, an outreach and education program founded in 1993 by the Department of Sanitation.  The project encourages city residents to compost through workshops, demonstrations, an information hotline, and discounted compost bins.  You can read more about this wonderful program here.
