Join us for Laying the Groundwork, an engaging panel discussion that digs deep into the connections between waste reduction, composting, and healthy soils – and the powerful role community action plays in it all.

Featuring Megan Holler, Director of Food Recovery & Compost of Towards Zero Waste and Community Compost Director of The ReCollective; Thomas Saile, Farm Manager at Good Hope Farm; and Noel Lyons, Founder and Chairman of McGill Environmental, this conversation will explore how everyday choices can transform waste into a valuable resource, regenerate our environment, and build more resilient communities.

Learn how these organizations are leading the charge toward a circular approach to waste, and walk away with practical insights on how you can help lay the groundwork for a cleaner, healthier future. Moderated by Town of Cary's Environmental Outreach Program Coordinator Sarah Justice and a youth member from Dedicated to Our Community (DOC) NC.
