On Saturday, January 25th, 2020 a group of dedicated teachers braved rainy weather to attend a Philadelphia GreenFutures Climate Change Teacher Training Workshop at Fairmount Water Works. A partnership between environmentally focused organizations organized this event for Philadelphia School District teachers to discuss their progress following last summer’s three-day summer climate education workshop.
Composting in Philadelphia has not always been so easy. This is what inspired Tim Bennett of Bennett Compost to start his own company to help make Philadelphia a greener city. Ten years ago while living in a second-floor apartment in South Philly, Tim Bennett struggled to find a facility that would compost his food waste. He quickly discovered that there were no on-site composting site for city residents. This may discourage most folks, but not Tim.
