\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 August 5, 2008 — The 溏心vlog免费B站 and the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corp. will again offer their training program this fall for local residents interested in becoming experts at composting and recycling. <\/p>\n


\nModeled after the 溏心vlog免费B站 Master Gardener program and similar programs around the country, the seven-session Master Composter & Recycler program will begin Sept. 3 and run on five consecutive Wednesday evenings through Oct. 3 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s East Farm, off route 108 in Kingston. Two Saturday sessions, September 6th and September 13th, will be scheduled to visit the state landfill in Johnston and Earth Care Farm, a commercial composting facility, in Charlestown. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cMost people don\u2019t realize that we are facing a crisis with capacity at our state landfill \u2013 we are literally running out of room,\u201d said Marion Gold, director of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Outreach Center. \u201cWe can all take action to address this problem. By composting in our backyards, we can reduce material sent to the landfill by over 10 percent. Backyard composting is cheaper for society, better for the environment, and great for the garden. So we\u2019re looking to train interested individuals to help us spread the word and get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nIn addition to the general public, Gold said that municipal recycling coordinators, public works staff, conservation commission members and others would benefit from the training. <\/p>\n


\nThe weekly sessions will discuss such topics as the importance and benefits of composting and recycling, starting a backyard compost process, compost science, worm and innovative composting methods, and community outreach.

\nThe Master Composter & Recycler training program has already trained over 100 people to become greener citizens and spread the message of solid waste reduction.<\/p>\n


\nLike the Master Gardener program, the Master Composter & Recycler program will combine classroom instruction with a volunteer commitment. Those completing the program will be required to complete 30 hours of volunteer time educating the public about composting and recycling practices. <\/p>\n


\nA course fee of $50 will be charged to each registrant to cover classroom materials. For more information or to register for the course, call Sejal Harde at the 溏心vlog免费B站 College of the Environment and Life Sciences Outreach Center at 401-874-4453 or email her at sejal@uri.edu.<\/p>\n
