Dear Composters,
The entire Compostons Ensemble team wishes you all the best for the new year 2026! May this year bring you as much satisfaction as seeing a beautiful pile of well-matured compost, steaming slightly in the morning coolness of Grosbreuil.
Resolutions that germinate
Like every New Year, it's time for resolutions. You know, those promises we make enthusiastically on 1 January and which, like carrot peelings, end up... well, you get the idea. But this year will be different! We can feel it in our compost bins.
Perhaps you have resolved to sort your organic waste more carefully? To visit the recycling centre more regularly? Or simply to stop confusing the yellow bins with the brown bins? Whatever your resolutions, remember: like compost, they need time, patience and regular turning to produce good results!
The year of the motivated composter
2026 promises to be a busy year for our association. Between the awareness-raising workshops we could organise, the drop-in sessions at the platform, and our traditional get-togethers over a cup of coffee (compostable, of course), there will be plenty of opportunities to meet up.
And let's face it: where else can you passionately discuss the ideal texture of a windrow, debate the merits of shredded branches, or marvel at a beautiful, plump earthworm? Our Grosbreuil platform is a unique place where we turn our waste into brown gold and our neighbours into friends.
A thought for those who are starting the year differently
Amidst these joyful wishes and our enthusiasm at the start of the year, our thoughts go out to all those for whom the year is beginning under more difficult circumstances. To those who are caring for a sick loved one, going through a personal ordeal, or facing challenges that we may not always be aware of.
We send you our full support and friendship. Please feel free to drop by and see us at the platform: sometimes, a smile and a few words exchanged can do as much good as an afternoon of gardening.
So, shall we meet at the compost heap?
2026 means 365 days to make a difference, one peel at a time. It means 365 opportunities to prove that small gestures, multiplied by thousands of people, can change the world (or at least improve our gardens).
Meet us at the Grosbreuil platform to continue this wonderful circular adventure together! And don't forget: good compost, like a good year, is a clever mix of moisture, heat and good company.
We wish you all a wonderful 2026!
The Compostons Ensemble team
P.S.: Office hours will continue as normal this week. Come along, especially after the holidays... we imagine your bins are overflowing with clementine peel and leftover Yule log!
