Master Composter/Soil Builder Training 2008

The Master Composter/Soil Builder (MC/SB) Volunteer Program is a key partner in Seattle’s waste reduction and recycling efforts. The primary goal of the MC/SB volunteer program is to increase resource conservation efforts by city residents through community outreach, demonstrations and educational support. City residents are encouraged to recycle organic wastes in their own backyards to build urban soils and create healthy landscapes throughout the city.
We all know that reducing the use of fossil fuels is essential to reducing climate change. But there’s something closer to home that you can do. Soil building with compost and mulch is an easy way to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and put it back in the ground where it belongs.

The Master Composter/ Soil Builder training will teach you to assess your personal carbon footprint and develop a climate change action plan that starts in their your own backyard.

As a Master Composter/ Soil Builder, you will learn to:

· Understand your connection to climate change

· Assess your personal carbon footprint

· Grow beautiful natural gardens

· Build healthy soil with compost and mulch

· Reduce pesticide use

· Conserve water and protect water quality
