CCC Workshop - Part 5: Community Engagement & Building Community Power via Community Composting
1. Community Engagement &
Building Community Power via
Community Composting
Panel Discussion
2017 Cultivating Community Composting Workshop
Moderated by: Linda Bilsens of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance
3. Community Power & Social Justice
• Whereas we can accomplish the most good with the greatest impact when
we engage all members of our communities.
• Whereas true community power cannot be cultivated without the full and
equal participation of each member of that community.
• Whereas equal participation requires that the distribution of resources is
equitable and all members are physically and psychologically safe and
secure (aka social justice).
• As such, social justice is one of our main tools for building community
power through our composting projects.
4. Community Engagement + Social Justices =
Community Power
This session will:
• Explore how community composting can be used as a tool for social justice
work, and therefore, building community power.
• Provide examples of how composting projects can help to address
inequities in our current system, while building community inclusion,
resiliency and power.
5. Community Power & Community Composting
Community power is a project or approach in
which:
• Local stakeholders own a majority share of the
project or organization, such as a cooperative,
or
• Community members or a locally based
organization control decisions related to the
projects, or
• The majority of the project or organization’s
social and economic benefits are distributed
locally.
Community Composting involves a relatively
small-scale system in which material is converted
into compost within a local community.
Community composting keeps the process and
product as local as possible while engaging the
community through participation and education.
