The Compost Story

The Compost Story involves a host of film stars urging citizens to compost. Much of the funding for the project came from members of the USCC after one of the founders, Finian Makepeace, introduced the project at COMPOST2017.
Share the video with others who may not understand the benefits of composting and using compost. For more, visit their website: kisstheground.com/thecompoststory
