Explore topics related to climate, sustainability, and energy efficiency!

Join KFPL for an informative session on the various types of compost, their pros and cons, and why composting is a crucial step in protecting the environment rather than sending organic waste to landfills.

This workshop will include a demonstration and explanation of how to compost with worms! Each participant will receive a take-home, easy-to-use, mini composting system—perfect for use in an apartment or on a larger property.

This program is in partnership with Sustainable Kingston.
