Become a Composting Champion

Composting is an inexpensive, natural process that transforms your kitchen and garden waste into valuable, nutrient rich food for your garden.  Composting at home for just one year can save global warming gases equivalent to all the CO2 your kettle produces annually, or your washing machine produces in 3 months.  

The Composting Champion scheme has been launched to train enthusiastic composters to spread the word about home composting within their local communities.  Volunteers are given training and a resource kit along with support from the council’s recycling team, and each other.  The Composting Champions then use their knowledge and enthusiasm to answer queries, give advice, and encourage their local community in home composting, be it schools, church groups or their neighbours.  

If you are interested in composting, and would like to be part of a team helping others to compost at home, you could be a Composting Champion. You don’t need to have prior knowledge or even a compost bin, just enthusiasm and a little time.

To become a Composting Champion, book your place on the free training day at Aldermoor Farm, Ryde on 6th March 2010.  Click here for information about the scheme or to book your free place on the training, contact 823777, [email protected]
