PRESENTER: NATHAN RUTZ, DIRECTOR OF SOIL
Compost is key to drawing down carbon from the atmosphere back to where it belongs—in the soil. In this workshop we’ll meet the microbes that make compost, explore the impact of soil carbon and water vapor on the greenhouse effect, learn why drawing down carbon is about more than just reducing atmospheric CO2 concentration, and get acquainted with the principles of building a home compost pile.

If you’re familiar with the company Rust Belt Riders, then you also know Tilth Soil.

We are excited to share that each guest who attends this program will get to take home a small soil bag from Tilth Soil.

ABOUT THE CLIMATE ACTION SERIES
We are pleased to offer our Museum community a new program aimed at discussing, acting on, and educating people about climate change. From April 2022 through August 2022, the Climate Action Series will take place virtually via Crowdcast on the third Saturday of the month. Highlighting ways in which climate change is affecting the world around us, this program will cover topics such as erosion and water management, creating local resilience for bird species, and reducing carbon emissions. We will focus on sharing actionable steps audiences can take to become better advocates for change.
