Food scraps don’t have to end up in the trash—they can help feed the earth. Here’s why you should consider composting: 🍅 Reduce Waste – Keeps organic matter out of overflowing landfills. 🫑 Lower Emissions – Prevents methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from entering the atmosphere. 🥔 Nourish the Earth – Creates natural fertilizer that helps plants thrive without chemicals. At YE Foundation, our waste-to-energy mission starts with waste reduction—and composting is a powerful first step that anyone can take. ♻️ Quick Tip: Keep a small bin in your kitchen for fruit peels, coffee grounds, eggshells, and veggie scraps, then transfer them to a compost pile or community composting site. #YEFoundation #WasteNotWednesday #Composting #Sustainability #WasteReduction #GreenLiving #CircularEconomy #GoGreen #EcoFriendly #ClimateAction #OrganicWaste #SoilHealth #FoodWaste #GreenFuture

Floating Solar Farms are important. Here’s why: 🍃 Maximizes Space – Reduces the need for land clearing by using reservoirs, lakes, and other water surfaces. 🍃 Improves Efficiency – Water naturally cools the panels, increasing their energy output. 🍃 Protects Ecosystems – Reduces water evaporation and algae growth, helping preserve aquatic habitats. At YE Foundation, we’re inspired by these breakthroughs because they show what’s possible when creativity meets commitment to the planet. Just as floating solar taps unused water surfaces for energy, our work transforms waste into renewable power—turning challenges into opportunities for a greener future. 📲 Learn more about our work at www.yef.global #YEFoundation #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #GreenTechTuesday

Late Night Thought 💭 As the world sleeps, mountains of trash keep growing. But what if every discarded bottle, bag, and box could light a home… power a school… fuel a community? At YE Foundation, we see waste not as an ending but as the beginning for a cleaner, brighter tomorrow. Because converting trash into energy isn’t just innovation, it’s our gift to the world in motion. ♻️⚡#DreamGreen #YEF #green #GoGreen #youth #planet #waste #Vegano #educate #teach #imagine #economics #education #Dream #Wastenot #environmental #community #lifeskills #Sustainability #Ourfutureisgreen #SustainabilitySunday #YEFoundation

Today we celebrate the life and legacy of Yvonne Etienne—our namesake and the heart behind YE Foundation. Yvonne was a top chef who graduated at the top of her class in Haiti, a dedicated healthcare worker who poured love into her patients, and a true people person who adored her family, her friends, and her community. Though she is no longer with us, her spirit lives on in every tree planted, every project launched, and every life touched. Her passion for excellence, service, and community lives on in everything we do at YE Foundation. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Yvonne. We honor you today and every day. 💚 #InLovingMemory #YvonneEtienne #YEFoundation #LegacyOfLove
