Help us get to 100!

Written By Mary Beth Schaye

At 87 owners, we are so close.

We just love the idea of having a nice, round 100 by our annual meeting. But, we’d be just as happy to exceed that goal. If you buy even a quarter-share now, you can join us to celebrate at Robert Crown Community Center on Wednesday, March 13th, 7:00-8:30 pm.

If you’re already an owner, thank you! Is there someone you know who is concerned about climate change and would like to help this small employee- and community-owned co-op make even more of an impact? A friend or a family member? There are two levels of ownership open to the community: consumer-members for our composting customers and supporter-owners for any U.S. citizen.

Our next project is adding solar to the roof of our garage. We’ll also be utilizing ComEd’s program to see where we can reduce the amount of energy we use.

We’re better together! The link to sign up is here.

She’s confident a solution can be tailored to fit anyone’s needs and ambitions. “Anyone who eats can be a CRI customer, whether you are an individual or a large organization. I want you to understand the advantages of composting, and I can show you how CRI can make it easy.” Mary Beth has successfully designed waste diversion strategies for individuals, schools, houses of worship, and other communities. She’s received the governor’s Environmental Hero award for her work at her daughter’s school.
