SUMMARY:The Alchemy of Composting - Workshop
DESCRIPTION:“The Alchemy of Composting: How 2 + 2 = 9 if you let it…” \nJoin Stan Slaughter from Missouri Organics as he talks about his experience remanaging organics out of landfills on a regional scale. Learn how you can apply similar methods to your own town or region while taking advantage of funding from the bipartisan infrastructure act to make it happen. Interested? Register now! \nStan was among the activists who first envisioned a regional food system for the KC region in the mid ‘80’s. When the Farmer’s Expo started in the 90’s he was the logical choice to provide entertainment which he has done more that 20 times over the years. Because of his background as an award-winning science teacher and a ‘60’s rocker\, Stan became a full-time compost and recycling musical educator in the early 90’s. Over 30 years later he’s still going\, working as Director of Education and Outreach for Missouri Organic Recycling. He’s received a score of local\, regional\, state and national awards. His career has taken him all over North America\, to over 4\,000 public appearances such as schools\, concerts and speeches\, to several foreign countries and in 2016 to England for a speech at the invitation of HRH Prince Charles.
