Learn More About the Hidden Cost of Landfills. "Inadequate federal air emissions regulations allow landfills across the U.S. to regularly leak methane well above the legal threshold set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), according to a new report from Industrious Labs that details findings from EPA inspections of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. The report, The Hidden Cost of Landfills: How flawed landfill regulations perpetuate a methane crisis, revealed 711 methane exceedances over the legal threshold of 500 parts per million (ppm), and found at least one methane exceedance at 96% of sites where EPA conducted monitoring. Further, at nearly half (48%) of these sites, EPA inspectors found multiple exceedances where landfill operators had previously reported few or no exceedances." BioCycle https://lnkd.in/e9HyT2NU
Every summer the Old Brooklyn Farmers Market organizes for three months to feed Clevelanders fresh and locally produced food. In 2024, OBFM is building on that mission with several exciting changes including moving to Thursday nights 5:00-8:00PM, and relocating to Stanford Avenue where they’ll be hosting their weekly evening street market. Other changes include partnering with Rust Belt Riders to add “not landfills” to their annual mission to feed Clevelanders. For three weeks in 2024, Rust Belt Riders will be at the market to promote composting, as well as providing a commercial compost bin for market patrons all season long. Visitors to Old Brooklyn Farmers Market this year can also expect to find 30 different local vendors, weekly live music and art events, a foraged foods cooking demo and foraging classes, a pair of pop-up comedy and drag shows by Snowflake Comedy Club and Uncle Lulu Presents, a beer garden sponsored by Schnitz Ale Brewery, and rotating dinner options throughout the year. Participants of SNAP, WIC, Produce Perks, and TANF will also be able to use their dollars at OBFM all season long including a weekly match of up to $25 on any SNAP spending. When: Thursdays, July 11 – Sept 26, 5-8pm Where: 4274 Pearl Rd., Cleveland OH 44109 For more information, please visit oldbrooklyn.com/market, follow along on Instagram & Facebook @oldbrooklynfarmersmarket, or email them at [email protected]
