Huntsville Green Thinks: Recycling and Compost in HSV with Phoenix & NewTerra

Every month people who love the environment meet up at informal sessions formerly known as Green Drinks. This has been changed to Green Thinks to ensure everyone feels welcome, no drinking required. There’s always a slightly different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organizing network. No need to register, just come as you are! We meet on the Clinton St patio of Yellowhammer Brewing, weather permitting.

Moriah Fordham will be giving a tiny talk about the small actions we can all take to make big changes when it comes to reducing the amount of material we send to the landfill as well as share about some local resources that can help us reduce our impact on the environment. Vanesa Martin will also be talking about HEC’s EAT program and how you can help reward and promote restaurants who make sustainable choices.

Moriah Fordham founded Phoenix Glass Recycling in 2020 to address the lack of glass recycling available to Madison County residents and organizations. Since they began, Phoenix has diverted more than 420 tons of glass from the landfill and has most recently merged with NewTerra Compost, based in Chattanooga, so that together, they can divert food scraps from the landfill and turn it into regenerative soil.
