One Saturday session will be scheduled to visit the state landfill in Johnston.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\u201cMost people don\u2019t realize that over 30 percent of what is sent to the state landfill is organic material that could be composted in our own backyards or at a centralized facility,\u201d said Marion Gold, director of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Cooperative Extension Education Center.  \u201cComposting is cheaper for society and better for the environment.  So we\u2019re looking to train interested individuals to help us spread the word and get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\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<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe weekly sessions will discuss such topics as the economic benefits of composting and recycling, the importance of reducing the quantity of material sent to the landfill, how to create a home composting process, the benefits of composting to gardeners, and which communities in Rhode Island have composting practices.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\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<p>&#13;<br \/>\nA course fee of $50 will be charged to each registrant to cover classroom materials.
