MY Guest this afternoon on DITD is Mark Haubner. Mark is currently president of the North Fork Environmental Council. With a few other thoughtful people he has started a Food Waste to Compost and a Zero Waste Initiative for the eastern communities of Long Island and that's why I asked him to be here today. The Food waste to compost pilot program has been deemed a success in 2022 and now there is a community effort to expand the project with the goal of turning 100% of the table scraps on the East end of Long Island into compost. Mark also serves as co-chairperson of the Riverhead Town Environmental Advisory Committee And he is on the Steering Committee of Drawdown East End. Mark has been environmentally conscious his whole life and over the last 15 years has been immersed in implementing sets of solutions to our problem of Planetary Overheating.
