Did you know that from our very own home, there is a simple way to make a HUGE difference for the planet? In this episode of The Curious Bird, Denver Audubon Communications Manager and host, Dori Edwards, speaks with Noah Kaplan- the Executive Director of Compost Colorado. They dive into not only the basics of what compost is, but explore how compost itself is the basis of a healthy and flourishing Earth. It is the foundation of thriving ecosystems and nourished communities, human and beyond. AND, it is a highly accessible act of advocacy!
During this conversation, Dori and Noah vulnerably discuss the dissonance of living within systems that often extricate us from the cycle of life, while sharing the emotional, spiritual, and empowering experience of reengaging with nature. They reflect on how a relationship with soil is a way of participating once again in the world’s organic rhythms and processes.
Overall, this episode is an enthusiastic assertion that we CAN and DO make a difference! If you need a space to be reminded that you are a conduit of benevolent influence, join us for this conversation where you’ll also learn about resources and the actions you can take to become a loving steward of this place we so luckily call home.
