Outreach Support: Composting and Topics in Sustainability

Solana Center offers educational resources to help people divert wasted food from the landfill, reduce harmful greenhouse gases like methane, and build healthy soils that feed our plants and hold water. Their booths travel to events to teach others about composting and its importance to maintaining a healthy planet. They often bring interactive elements to engage their audience, such as a live vermicompost display!
