Come learn from Rian Bedard the basics of backyard composting, the do’s and don’ts, how to keep your pile active, and the basic science behind it.

Rian will also talk about his company and how it is done on a large scale at commercial facilities.

Rian Bedard is a certified Permaculture Designer and instructor. He received both certificates through the Urban Permaculture Guild of SF. Upon his return from CA, he started the first Zero Waste program as manager of the Me and Ollie’s cafe in Downtown Portsmouth. After his time at Me and Ollie’s he worked as Assistant Director of the Green Alliance, where he realized that there was a demand for compost hauling service. In November of 2009 he decided with his business partner to venture into the hauling industry and started a company called EcoMovement. They currently have 30 clients and are diverting and estimated 20,000 pounds of food waste from the landfill a week.
