The LWVEA monthly meeting will be on May 23 at 7:00 pm at St. John’s United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall, 7372 Marine Road, Edwardsville.  The topic will be LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES:  COMPOSTING

Mary Grose from the Good Dirt Composting Collective will present the second in a series of program meetings on Local Environmental Issues offered by the League of Women Voters of the Edwardsville Area.  The community is invited to the Thursday, May 23 meeting at 7:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of St. John’s United Methodist Church, 7372 Marine Road, Edwardsville.

Mary Grose is a civic volunteer and environmental activist with a history of involvement and contributions in local efforts.  Good Dirt Composting Collective is a community organization whose goal is to educate the community about composting.  Attendees will learn how to turn food scraps and yard trimmings into a valuable resource for a happy, healthy home garden. Our speaker will also provide information about the local single-use bag ordinance, an effort she and the local organization Bring Your Own Glen-Ed were involved in.

The third Local Environmental Issues program will be held in August and will address food waste and reuse.
