    Our Compost Climate Connections webinar series explores the crucial role of compost in protecting the climate. The series touches on a variety of related topics, including carbon sequestration (the capture and storage of carbon in soil), farming best practices using compost, and compost use for ecological restoration. 

    This webinar series, together with our broader library of composting-related webinar recordings, is one way ILSR supports the growth of a distributed and diverse composting infrastructure that includes community-scale and on-farm systems.

    Calla Rose Ostrander discusses the Marin Carbon Project and the Project partner’s work on carbon farming and its potential to mitigate climate change. For more than a decade, the Marin Carbon Project has demonstrated that managing carbon can actually increase the system capacity to hold even more carbon.

    On this webinar, Dr. Sasha Kramer, Executive Director of SOIL, discusses how SOIL expands access to household sanitation services and transforms the waste they collect into rich, agricultural-grade compost. SOIL is also working to create a revolutionary social business model and economic opportunities in some of the world’s most under-resourced communities. 

    Presentadores:

    • Dr. Sasha Kramer, Executive Director of SOIL
    • Dr. Rebecca Ryals, University of California at Merced

  • November 6, 2019

    In Boulder County, Colorado, Eco-Cycle and NREL have established carbon farming pilot projects to adapt the science used in the Marin Carbon Project in California for the Rocky Mountain climate. This webinar explores two of the pilot projects now underway in Boulder County and City of Boulder agricultural open space.

    Presentadores:

    • Mark Easter, Senior Research Associate at the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory.
    • Dan Matsch, Director at Eco-Cycle
