"Earlier this summer, Westford Climate Action staffed a table at the Westford Famers’ Market on the Common. Many people stopped to discuss how to lower their carbon footprint in their home, car, trash and yard. Learn more at westfordclimateaction.org  The winner of the Earth Machine composter is Dana Porter who has lived in Westford for 25 years. He says, “I am happy to have this Earth Machine, because it will be my second composter. I never seem to get to the point where the compost is ‘all done’ so this way I can turn this summer’s material over, cover it with leaves, and begin a new batch in this machine over the winter and spring!” To kitchen waste, Dana adds leaves, newspaper, egg cartons, empty paper roll tubes, and even the “shredded paper bits” that Westford recycling does not allow. Thank you to the Westford Recycling Commission for generously providing the Earth Machine composter using funds from a state grant."
