Designates first week of May of each year as "Composting Awareness Week" in New Jersey.

SJR 18 designates the first week of May each year as "Composting Awareness Week" in New Jersey. The bill requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and residents to observe the week with activities promoting composting. It highlights composting's benefits - such as enriching soil, conserving water (reducing usage by up to 30%), reducing landfill waste (which makes up ~30% of landfill material), and mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon. The resolution is purely symbolic, with no new requirements or funding, and aligns with existing state climate initiatives like Executive Order No. 221.
