Washington state reports a 60% reduction in recidivism because of its Sustainability in Prison programs at its correctional facilities. One of those programs is composting.
“By turning scraps into nutrient-rich soil, we’re not only reducing what ends up in landfills — we’re creating a circular system that supports local farms, healthier neighborhoods, and sustainable food production.”
The federal environment minister, Murray Watt, has conceded that successive governments acted unlawfully when they failed to create mandatory recovery plans for native species threatened with extinction in a major legal win for one of Australia’s largest environmental organisations.
The Wilderness Society has been successful in federal court proceedings it launched in March that sought to compel the minister to make recovery plans for species including the greater glider and the ghost bat.
