Turn garbage into gold, and become a climate change hero!  Americans waste an average of 25% of all food and drinks they purchase, and all this waste generates nearly one quarter of the U.S. methane emissions.  Alternatively, when it’s kept out of the garbage and composted, food waste is an incredibly useful soil amendment – and ‘gardener’s gold.’

In partnership with the Seattle Public Utilities, Seattle Tilth offers free training in the latest knowledge of composting and soil building.  Through four weeks of classroom learning, hands-on practice and field trips, starting March 22nd, Master Composters learn about soil science, natural yard care and the lesser-known benefits of recycling.  Master Composters then share information and experiences through the service projects they choose, at locations all over the city.
