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).

Every year, Americans throw away an average of 81 pounds of clothing, and nearly 85% of those textiles end up in landfills instead of being reused or recycled. Piles upon piles of wearable, brand-new clothing fill up landfills, just for the excuse of “not being trendy.” The truth is that while many of us in New Canaan feel that our closets are overfilled, 40% of children living in the US face clothing insecurity. With the hope of helping others, our club, Voices for Change, believes that something as simple as donating clothes can make a real difference.

Coffee’s on for Thursday

By |

Join fellow residents and NewCanaanite.com editor Michael Dinan for the monthly Community Coffee, to be held 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Thursday, May 7 in the Jim & Dede Bartlett Auditorium at New Canaan Library. The Coffee is presented in partnership with the library, and the brew is supplied by Zumbach’s Gourmet Coffee (thank you, Doug). Salon Anastassia provides donuts, muffins and other baked goods. The free, public coffee is a group conversation about what’s happening around town, moderated by Dinan. Topics come from attendees and we spend no more than 10 minutes per subject. Those who would like to receive a friendly reminder email about the coffee—held the first Thursday of each month—should email Dinan at editor@newcanaanite.com.
