It's World Environment Day, a day encouraging awareness and action for the protection of our environment. We would like to honor the work of the Lower East Side Ecology Center, whose Executive Director, Christine Datz-Romero, was recognized by the State Department of Environmental Protection for her career and stewardship for the environment. The work of the Center was also lauded by the New York Times for pioneering the efforts of New York City residents to collect and deliver their organic food waste to city-wide collection points. Their impact is now being felt on a larger scale as the City builds out their composting operations. We are proud to work with them to design their composting facility so that they can continue to encourage people to be mindful of their waste and educate the public of their great work.

Happy World Environment Day!
