Hello,
I'm David Schlessinger. I joined this group because i lived in the Pacific Northwest for about ten years. During that time i went to school at the University and eventually graduated with a degree in Environmental Studies. I also used to compost at home with my father. Gardening is such a big activity in the Pacific northwest, and composting is great with all the rain. Anyway i don't live in the Pacific Northwest but in the Eastern Sierra region currently near the beginning of the Great Basin. I work for the Washoe Tribe of California and Nevada in the Environmental Department. We do composting in this desert region and pass out compost bins to tribal members. I think it is a great thing for gardening anywhere and can really help enrich the soil. |

Extending our experience through communication and education.
The following is a cut and paste from S&S app.
1. Create fresh compost for community gardening.
2. Bring together a community that creates solutions and acts upon them in
sustainable ways.
3. Eliminate the use of fossil fuels in the transportation and disposal of food waste
4. Provide a model of zero carbon self-sufficiency that the community can learn from and build upon.
5. Educate ourselves and future generations about the importance of community stewardship.
