🌱✨ Spotlight on Laura Totin Codori of Worm Return LLC and the #Hazelwood Food Recycling Site ✨🌱 This month, we're thrilled to highlight our incredible waste diversion partner, Worm Return, and how the Hazelwood Food Recycling Site supports their mission for a greener planet. 🚜 Waste Diversion Achievements: Food Waste Diversion: Thanks to Worm Return, we divert 1,520 lbs of food scraps from landfills each week, significantly reducing methane emissions and returning nutrients to the soil. Community Collection: Worm Return collects food scraps from 140 clients, including 6 commercial businesses, helping to reduce their environmental footprint and sequester carbon. 🌍💰 Transforming Unpaid Labor into Valuable Goods and Services: This partnership exemplifies our commitment to a circular food system and economy. involveMINT plays a crucial role by minting credits for labor, goods, and services that might otherwise go unpaid. People earn involveMINT credits for their efforts, which they can spend on untapped goods and services at local businesses like Dylamato's. These businesses then use their credits to access waste diversion services from Worm Return. This system creates a seamless cycle of sustainability and community support, ensuring that every contribution—whether it's time, goods, or services—is recognized and rewarded. This not only boosts the local economy but also fosters a strong sense of community and shared responsibility for our environment. Thanks to Lara's steadfast efforts, we can continue to build a greener future together! 🌱💚 #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #WasteDiversion #CommunityImpact #GreenEconomy #UrbanAgriculture #Composting #involvePGH #EnvironmentalStewardship #WormReturn #HazelwoodFRS
