To the Editor,

As organizations dedicated to the preservation and sustainability of our town, the New Canaan Garden Club, New Canaan Nature Center, and Planet New Canaan are writing to advocate for a common-sense solution to a growing environmental and financial challenge: implementing food waste composting within the New Canaan Public Schools. Currently, food waste makes up at least one-third of our municipal trash. When this organic matter is sent to landfills, it decomposes anaerobically, releasing methane—a greenhouse gas which is more damaging to our atmosphere than CO2​. 

Connecticut is currently facing a waste disposal “tipping point.”

I think it is time call an audible and reverse the decision to charge for parking on Elm and South. The Town Council has already stopped the expansion to Main Street. I, for one, am not bothered with the app nor paying and have done so often since the start of the project (although the one time I ran in for coffee at Dolce and forgot, I got a $30 ticket – so what).
