Calculating Who’s Green, Sustainable Princeton Should Count People Who Do Own Composting
To The Editor:
In response to the Town Topics, April 3 article, “Do You Compost? Jefferson Road Does,” I would like to make a correction for Regatta Row. Our street is green! Although I am the only resident who is not using the Princeton green recycling program, I do compost. I have been composting in my backyard for over 20 years. With 3 bins going, my compost enriches the soil in my vegetable garden and perennial borders.
When calculating who’s green and who’s not, I think Sustainable Princeton should count the people who sign on to the Central Jersey Waste pickup, AND the people who do their own composting.
Regatta Row is Green! All of us!

Note: From the story: “So far, three homes [on Regatta Row] are enrolled, so just one more to go to become the first street in Princeton to become entirely organic.”
