Commitment Form for Participation in the “KOMΠΟΣΤΟ” initiative by C.I.P. Citizens in Power
ΚΟΜΠΟΣΤΟ initiative:

- Following the correct procedures for each composting system applied (there are 3 types).
- Regularly ensuring the proper functioning of the compost bins in accordance with the instructions given by the CIP organization. Sending weekly email update to info@citizensinpower.org for the first 2 months of composting (in which they should include photographic material, the measurement of the weight of organic waste added to the bin, update of the excel file which will be compiled by the CIP team, feedback for the improvement of the process).
- Issuing a monthly report via email to info@citizensinpower.org after the successful completion of the first 2 months (in which they should include photographic material, approximate measurement of the weight of organic waste added to the bin, update of the excel file which will be compiled by the CIP team, feedback for the improvement of the process).
