This will be rescheduled soon!

As a part of our Zero Waste Series at Rainbow Blossom, Sean Raph of the Louisville Compost Co-op will be teaching a class about composting: the ins and outs, different techniques, and the future and sustainability of composting. If you can’t compost at home, you can also learn about an exciting new partnership between Rainbow Blossom and the Louisville Compost Co-op that will start in May!

Why is composting important?

• The USDA reported that in 2010, more than 130 billion pounds of food went to waste. By composting, we are taking the food scraps and capturing most of the unused nutrients into rich, fertile compost (USDA).

• By reducing the amount of waste that sits in landfills we can prevent noxious, smelly gas build up which results with anaerobic micro-organism activity.

• Creating a fertile, nutrient rich soil (compost) from waste, saves you money long term by getting full use from your uneaten food scraps.
