Call to donate to Puerto Rico Composta, Inc. to support our programs
Puerto Rico Composta, Inc. is a 501c-3, non for profit environmental organization founded in Puerto Rico in 02/2013. Our mission: Being an organization that guides and educates individuals, communities, schools and businesses on the benefits, importance, and application of the composting process as the final product of effective management of waste. Our vision is to reduce solid waste from Puerto Rico. Positively impact society through environmental education, so that everyone learns to live healthy, self-sustaining, using compost as organic fertilizer and natural way to grow their own food. Through our six (6) main educational programs such as: Composta Mania Escolar/Comunitario, El Compostaje comienza en Casa, Teatro Eco amigable de Marionetas, Yo Reciclo and Campamento de Verano Ecoamigable::”Amigos de la Tierra” and Programa de Voluntariado; we are dedicated to promoting the generation of compost as an environmentally friendly alternative, in order to reduce solid waste (garbage) that come to our landfills. Puerto Rico produces approximately 3.6 million-tons of waste per year, from which 35% is compostable material that end useless on landfills. Furthermore, the vast majority of landfills in the Island are in default with Subtitle D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), which establish the rules for landfill management and operation. Based on an analysis made by the government of Puerto Rico in 2008, this situation could provoke that for 2020, we end with just six landfills in use.
In addition, 85% of the food we eat is imported, mainly from the U.S., where food travels 2.800 miles on average to reach Puerto Rico. These points placed to Puerto Rico on a rather vulnerable and delicate position because we depend on a food supply chain that we have no control. Therefore, urgent to develop initiatives like these that promote waste reduction, planting and harvesting in order to create home gardens, reduction, reuse and recycling practices in schools and communities to conserve our Planet Earth cleans and safe.
