We are happy to sponsor Mary Miller, who approached us for support with her capstone project for her MS in Sustainability and the Environment (MSSE) from UNC Greensboro. Serendipitously, her project is on advocating for community composting in Transylvania County. Work is well underway on two pilot sites. The first is at [...]
So much is happening, we need a reporter. We are willing to pay for stories
Hello fellow Conservers. I hope everyone is well. John and I have abundance beyond belief and a lot of that is in the joy and love we experience demonstrating at our public house, The Cedar Mountain Canteen, how to move a business towards zero-waste.

We connect with our neighbors and help each other. The energy is wonderful and we are busy, really busy and [...]
Scholars are Conservers
Rise and Shine shared this newsletter recently. We wanted to share it. Scholars are Conservers and Future Farmers Rise & Shine scholars know that composting is one of the fastest ways to reduce the trash footprint of our community so they are managing their food scraps to help with their garden. They have a bucket to collect compost waste from each meal. The scholars take the compost out each day. They turn the compost and maintain the bins. This fall they cleaned out the garden spaces and planted some winter vegetables. These beds have been covered [...]
ShareWaste participants are growing! Thank you
ShareWaste is a website and phone application that connects people who have food scraps with those who want them. We have been using it for awhile and are grateful for other local folks who have signed up. Our biggest obstacle in getting food scraps turned into soil are finding locations that are willing to take food scraps. This connection tool has helped us find much needed sites. Thanks so much for signing up! Would you like to share your food scraps or accept food scraps? Go here https://sharewaste.com/ to sign up.
