All About Composting with Alexa Pavan - Grounded In Maine with Amy Bolduc

It's been bugging me that there hasn't been an episode devoted to composting in 4 years! In March this year, I think, there was a compost week, and friend of the podcast Alexa Pavan did a post about it, and it wasn't hard to convince her to come back Her first episode was # 107 in August of 2024 - link here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/admin/1952... ) and talk about composting, because she LOVES talking about it! This is something she's been talking about for a while - in fact, her regional composting service asks her to fill in when they need someone to educate and promote in her area! Alexa talks about the art of composting, and personally uses a composting company - she talks about the parts needed to keep a compost balanced and doing its job (a 4:1 ratio carbon to organic waste); she is just passionate about it and wants everyone to find a way to compost food waste - and she talks about why that matters, if you're curious. She brought up a phrase that hit me hard talking about why we need to protect our oceans by composting: "our oceans are the world's circulatory system." Her tagline is Imperfect Sustainability, because it's important to feel empowered to be part of the solution (does that sound familiar?), and we're most likely not going to do everything all the time to do it perfectly; but if we're doing our best, that's progress! Alexa is a copywriter, and writes for organizations that focus on sustainability. She's a lifelong diver and ocean warrior, content creator and climate communicator. She does a lot of education and volunteer events throughout the year; a lot of volunteer trash sorting and talking about composting.
