Food Composted is More…
Ryan Green on Happy Trashcan small business start-up and local fertility
Food composted is more than food not wasted. Among efforts to reduce food waste and associated greenhouse gas emissions, composting continues a cycle that includes harvest, retail, and preparation. What’s trimmed, leftover, or spoiled can help regenerate soil.
And, it’s business. In this interview segment (October 2018), Ryan Green, co-owner Happy Trash Can Curbside Composting, shares basic benefits of composting, lessons from his experience ranging from farm to big city composting operations, and the creative, collaborative means he and his wife Adrienne used to start their curbside composting business.
Update since this recording: Happy Trash Can acquired the large dump trailer that allows them a single round trip for compost pickup! For more, Ryan can be reached via the Happy Trash Can website. Interview conducted by Megan Hollingsworth (Extinction Witness) in collaboration with Linda Lombardo (Voice of Evolution Radio).
