Since starting a composting hub at her community garden, Lissie Stewart says she has collected 25,000 pounds of food waste, diverting it from the landfill. “As a family, we just know Sundays are composting days. So we'll come out, take out bins, do what we need to do at the garden and then come back and pick them up and put them in our composting heap.”Compost NOW helped set up this composting hub at Galvez Garden in February of 2022.

The City of New Orleans released its final draft for Lincoln Beach’s master plan, which involves four phases. The city is no longer planning a quick open this year. Instead it plans to open the beach when phase one is complete, which is estimated for late 2026 or early 2027. The city said once that happens, the beach won’t need to be closed for construction on the other phases.
