Discover how you can reduce your food waste and start composting at home, even without outdoor space.
Reducing food waste and composting are two of the most impactful things individuals can do to help the planet, and they're easy to do! Compost is a nutrient-rich food for plants that helps to create resilient soil. In this presentation, Charlotte Canner will discuss strategies for reducing food waste, what compost is, why it is important, and how to do it in a way that works for you, even if you don't have outdoor space. Attendees will be entered into a raffle to win a worm bin.
