Planeet Consulting, with the support of the Social Justice Co-op and the NL Federation of Co-operatives, is working towards this dream by creating the NL Community Composting Co-operative Network. And we need you! All you need is to love composting and want it in your community.
You can join the Steering Committee or just be kept in the loop and join later. As a Steering Committee member, you’ll help coordinate and implement the steps involved in the development process. As members, we’ll share the work involved, meet regularly, and would remain on the committee until the first board of directors is elected after incorporation.

Fill out the short form below before February 15th, 2023.
Tell us about yourself, a few words about why you want to join the Network, and whether you want to participate in the Steering Committee or just be kept in the loop.
Everyone who expressed interest will be contacted, and our first Steering Committee meeting will be scheduled.
We will get to know each other and share our expectations. We will design the path that will define our responsibilities, co-op benefits and services, our business plan and by-laws, and other logistical necessities to incorporate.
The meeting minutes will be sent to those who want to be kept in the loop.
The Composting Co-op is an initiative by Planeet Consulting, with the support of the Social Justice Co-operative of NL and the NL Federation of Co-operatives.
