The Princeton Public Library presents - Farmer's Market Program: What It Means to Eat Well

September 2nd @ 2pm during the Princeton Farmers Market

“What should I eat?” The answer to this ordinary question can be complicated for those trying to eat well. Nutritional guidelines can be confusing and conventional wisdom doesn’t always hold true. Jan Cho, an expert who blogs on the subject, advocates eating meaningfully, which requires complete participation in the experience, from knowing how and where an ingredient was grown to savoring it in a meal we prepared.  This is the way to eat for wellbeing, and for all aspects of our being--mind, soul and body alike. Cho will offer samples of a freshly prepared and nutritious snack following the hour-long discussion.

Community Night Out

Sustainable Princeton had a booth at Community Night Out where we showed how fast and easy it is to build a compost bin. We spoke to residents, handed out flyers, and performed a ten minute demonstration where we built a compost bin. The bin materials were then donated to Community Park Elementary School for their garden club to assemble. All in all a great success!

  PRINCETON TOWNSHIP TO START FOOD WASTE RECYCLING PILOT

Last Monday (6/28/10), the Princeton Township Committee approved a pilot program to test the feasibility of food waste recycling, following a presentation by township Recycling Coordinator Janet Pellichero and representatives from Central Jersey Premier Food Waste and Peninsula Compost Group. Selected neighborhoods will separate out their compostable food waste which will be picked up curbside and turned in to valuable top-soil compost. Anything biodegradable is accepted including yard trimmings and paper products. Residents who participate in the pilot should see a 10 to 15 percent drop in their garbage bills. If the pilot is successful the program will expand to the entire Township.
