On January 29th, 2021, we had the honor and pleasure of having a guest speaker: Kyleen Sanchez, who was gracious enough to allow us to share a recording of her presentation about composting.
Kyleen Sanchez talked to us about the actions we can take to contribute to the global effort to reverse climate change – with a focus on composting, either ourselves or with community initiatives.
Kyleen Sanchez is a Compost Associate of the LES Ecology Center who enjoys learning about the composting world. She has spent years applying her expertise in waste management and policy for the fashion industry. She now spends her time learning about soil health, environmental policy, and the history of agriculture. She represents the organization at Greenmarket sites to collect residential food scraps and educate the public about her organization’s programs, assisting the operations team and leading volunteers in processing food scraps at the East River Compost Yard. Kyleen can be seen driving throughout the Lower East Side in the Center’s iconic graffiti truck or ROTRULES van.
The LES Ecology Center has pioneered community-based models in urban sustainability since 1987. They provide unique e-waste and composting services, environmental stewardship opportunities, and educational programming to all New Yorkers who want to learn about environmental issues and take responsibility for creating solutions through action.
