'Crafting with Scraps' brings people together to explore an urban oasis and share knowledge about Earth's wonders.
-- At the Queens Botanical Garden in Flushing, turmeric, coffee, and cabbage boil away in big pots. But the stew is not for eating.
It's part of the garden's summer series"Crafting with Scraps," which brings New Yorkers together to explore an urban oasis and share knowledge about Earth's wonders. "We like to say, if you cook or you grow it, you can throw it," Sanitation Department commissioner Jessica Tisch said. "Instead of sending our food waste to landfill, where it sits and produces methane gas for decades, we want to compost it. So we want to turn it into soil, or we want to digest it and make renewable energy out of it," she said.
