Episode 36: Rust Belt Riders Talk Compost (Interview with Dan Brown)

On this episode of How to Save the World, Meghan and Jaimie chat to Dan Brown, one of the co-founders of Rust Belt Riders. Rust Belt Riders is a Cleveland-based compost company that collects food waste, facilitates the decomposition of that food waste and transforms it into nutrient-rich compost. On this episode we chat about the science of composting, why it's so important, what we can do to be better stewards of our food waste, how Rust Belt Riders operates their business in Cleveland, Ohio, and what larger-scale policies could be helpful to divert food waste from landfills in the future. Check out the episode and Rust Belt Riders! You can find them at rustbeltriders.com and on Instagram & Twitter @rustbeltriders. Remember, when you throw your food waste away...it doesn't go away.
