Check out the results from our survey last week on composting. Then, click here to take part in this week's #TeamYetta Neighborhood Survey on who you think should be our next Mayor.
Thanks to all who took our survey on composting, here's what we found:
Nearly 80% of those who responded agree that upgrading NYC's waste management to be more sustainable and environmentally responsible is incredibly important. Furthermore, 75% have heard of NYC's plan for composting and out of those, nearly two-thirds think favorably of it, while most others are still unsure.
In regard to our current waste program, 60% of respondents think NYC has "somewhat" of an effective plan to handle waste, while 28% think that we can do better.
As far as composting, only 24% of our respondents do so currently, but 40% would like to.
As in our last survey, our respondents have been great in offering their opinions and advice on how we all can be better stewards of our environment. The majority of the comments mentioned recycling, though others went further, including helping clean litter off the street and participating in co-op composting programs.
When it came to what NYC's government can do for us, ideas became more varied. Some suggestions include placing curbside composting bins and providing educational materials about composting, stricter enforcement of recycling laws, increasing bottle deposit fees to fund more recycling programs and banning plastic bags.
Keep letting us know your thoughts and ideas and please participate in this week's #TeamYetta Neighborhood Survey. The topic? NYC's next Mayor!
Best,
Yetta
