Thanks a TON, Sausalito! An article by the Sausalito Sustainability Commission Have you noticed you’ve lost weight? You may not know this, but thanks to the diligent efforts of Sausalito residents and businesses over the last four years, our city has lost 813 tons—of garbage going to the landfill. That’s an impressive number for a small city like ours, and one we should be proud of. How did we do it? Well, much of Sausalito’s recent waste reduction has come through food waste composting. Over the years, Marinites have done a fantastic job of recycling their waste. In fact, Marin residents collectively recycle 75 percent of their trash—effectively diverting thousands of tons of garbage from the landfill. So, what’s left in our garbage? A lot of food waste. In a recent waste study of Sausalito, we found that over 75 percent of the residential and commercial waste stream still remains potentially recyclable or compostable. In 2012, the City of Sausalito joined the rest of the Marin County in promoting food waste composting. At that time, Bay Cities Refuse, the city’s garbage hauler, began accepting food scraps and yard waste in the greencycle carts. Since then, Sausalito has reduced the amount of garbage going to the landfill from 4,205 to 3,392 tons—a 19 percent reduction in just four years. During the same period, Sausalito’s greencycling has steadily increased from 1,322 to 2,034 tons per year—a 53 percent increase. What’s even better is that much of Sausalito’s food and yard waste is recycled into rich compost that residents can use – for free – in their yards and gardens, courtesy of Bay Cities Refuse and the City of Sausalito. In the spring, simply stop by the MLK property off of Coloma Street behind the tennis courts with your own container, and take some local nutrient-rich compost home with you. What goes into the greencycling bins? All of your leftovers, food scraps and yard waste. This includes coffee grounds, egg shells, cooked and uncooked meat and bones, pizza crusts and cardboard pizza boxes, wet or soiled paper and cardboard, spoiled fruit and vegetables and more. For a helpful guide, visit Zero Waste Marin at www.ZeroWasteMarin.org. To help make it easier for you to lose even more weight in your trash, Sausalito Sustainability Commission members will be handing out free rolls of “bio bags” and a limited supply of kitchen compost buckets—perfect for countertops or under the sink—and free magnets with information on what can be composted in Sausalito at events throughout the year. Email [email protected] or visit www.ci.sausalito.ca.us/sustainability- recycling for more information. Thanks again—and keep up the great work, Sausalito!

Viña Del Mar, Chile The Viña Del Mar (VDM) committee had a busy spring. Our committee chair, Monica Finnegan, worked tirelessly along with other Operations Council folks on a huge fundraiser for all three sister cities held in May at Cavallo Point. The theme, “Come Fly With Us”, harked back to a time when air travel was a pleasure. Guests were “flown” to each of our three sister cities and heard from past delegates on their life-changing experiences abroad in Japan, Chile and Portugal. In addition, local favorites Sushi Ran, Poggio, Copita and Cavallo Point provided scrumptious food. “In-flight” entertainment was provided by “Sinatra” & The Jazz All Stars with guest appearance by our own local trumpet maestro, Mike Kelly.
