Dayton Avenue began their composting and waste reduction education program by distributing 42 compost bins to church members. This resulted in over 700 gallons of food waste diverted from the waste stream. To aid the new composters, the church set up a compost bin demonstration site on the church grounds to compost potluck leftovers. Throughout the year a series of eight speakers included topics such as household hazardous waste, non-toxic cleaning, Is God Green?, and recycling to 100 church members. They have also included waste reduction chapters in their Sunday School lessons to 16 adult members, created a newly formed Eco Study Group, and distributed an Environmental Cheat Sheet to 47 households. Dayton Avenue plans to continue their workshops, lessons, and composting education.
