I first heard about Grupo Puntacana's new composting initiative while reading a BioCycle article, and I've been eager to dig in ever since. Their journey, led by Jake Kheel, offers a fascinating model of sustainability, scale, and innovation in the Dominican Republic.Grupo Puntacana isn't just a resort—it's a whole resort ecosystem: thousands of residences, multiple hotels, restaurants, golf courses, even their international airport. The amount of waste generated is huge, and plenty of that is organics. So when Jake and his team set out to reduce landfill, cut hauling costs, and improve guest experience, they had to get serious.They've had a series of trials as they scaled up from vermicomposting to small in vessel systems to the newly installed Earth Flow composting system—an enclosed, automated setup from Green Mountain TechnologiesJake's vision for Grupo Puntacana goes beyond just compost. He's aiming for 70 to 80 percent landfill diversion across the resort and its surrounding operations—and more importantly, he's helping reshape what sustainability in tourism can actually look like.DescriptionCheck out BioCylce at Grupo Puntacana (

RootHub (aka Aloha) weaves the core values and shared struggle of building Black Rock City and his work in Hawai‘i. He draws inspiration from the Hawaiian people's concept of kuleana (responsibility to the land and community).When he's not building BRC with DPW, or playing music to amplify people's stories, he's diverting food waste from landfills and incinerators into much needed, nutrient-dense soil for growing food. He does this through his companies.

Ever find yourself wishing you could raise kids who think beyond themselves, show emotional resilience, and eat their veggies without a bribe? Well tune in and buckle up. This week on the Good Enough Parenting podcast, I sat down with Sarah Robertson-Barnes, sustainability writer, educator, and host of Sustainable in the Suburbs — and she's here to remind us that parenting with the planet in mind doesn't have to mean going full homestead (or giving up take out).We talked about the small, practical ways we can parent more sustainably — and how those choices actually help our kids grow. Turns out, being mindful about waste, food, and nature doesn't just protect the planet; it builds impulse control, flexibility, and problem-solving skills. Plus, Sarah swears that some sustainable swaps are great for your family budget and your *picky eaters. (Apparently composting can make them feel like magicians??)We also got into the deeper stuff: how connecting kids to the planet helps them move past their natural egocentricity, how to avoid eco-burnout, and why being mindful about our waste and consumption is not about perfection – it's about progress. So take a deep breath, skip the guilt, and tune in for some down-to-earth wisdom that might just make your next meal — and your next parenting moment — a little greener.You can find Sarah HERE and check out her podcast Sustainable in the Suburbs for more ideas on reducing waste, rethinking consumption, and even throwing a trash-free birthday party (yes, it's possible).Because hauling your own Tupperware to your favorite restaurant may not solve the climate crisis, but for now it might just be good enough. To get Carley's free video teaching you 4 play therapy techniques you can use TODAY to calm your emotional child and bring joy and freedom back to family life click here!http://www.paceparent.com/play And follow her @CarleyCounsels on FB & IG!

What if the process of healing and personal growth worked the same way nature transforms compost—slowly, organically, and in cycles? This week on The Robyn Ivy Podcast, I'm joined by Jayne Merner, second-generation steward of Earth Care Farm, to talk about composting—but not just in the way you might expect. Yes, we talk about the real, soil-based kind (with plenty of practical tips for starting your own), but we also explore composting as a metaphor for transformation, healing, and what it means to tend to both land and legacy with care. Jayne brings deep wisdom about what the natural world can teach us—about grief, rebirth, family, and creating something new from what's been left behind. Her life on the farm is rich with lessons on sustainability, community, and why even what we want to discard can hold the seeds of growth. This conversation is down-to-earth in all the best ways—and it reminded me how powerful it is to stay rooted in rhythm, gratitude, and connection to the cycles around (and within) us. Your 3 Key Takeaways 1. Composting shows us how change works Whether it's organic matter or a chapter of your life, what feels like an ending might actually be the beginning of nourishment for what's next. 2. Nature heals us when we let it Even small acts—stepping outside, breathing fresh air, or tending to a plant—can restore presence, calm, and a deeper sense of belonging. 3. You don't have to do it all to make a difference Starting small with something like composting food scraps or sharing your gratitude shifts more than you think. Tiny choices matter—inside and out. If this episode speaks to something stirring in you, and you're ready to grow into your next season with more clarity and care, let's talk.

It's easy to forget about food in the fridge or the cabinets, leading it to go bad. Oftentimes, it just goes right in the trash, and when you add your food waste to everyone else's, plus all the waste from hospitals, restaurants, cafeterias, schools, and other institutions, it adds up fast! Massachusetts has had a commercial food waste ban in place since 2014 to try and cut down on the negative impacts of this food waste, and a new report shows the Commonwealth's efforts are showing success, both economically and environmentally. MassDEP Commissioner Bonnie Heiple returns to the show to break down the report with Nichole and talk about the state's future food waste goals.

Fall is an ideal time to start thinking about composting projects. That's the word from statewide horticulture specialist, Bruce Spangenberg. He tells Ben Jarboe what the process is all about, and shares tips for first time composters to make it a success. Fall is ideal because of the volume of organic material available. Spangenberg also recommends not putting meat food scraps in the pile because it will not decompose quickly and may attract animals. After a little rain today, sunshine should return. That's the forecast from Stu Muck. Ashley Huhn with the Steffes Group joins Pam Jahnke to talk about preparing for your auction. Time is the key component that can really influence a sales success.

There are many ways to make compost but they fall into three primary methods with many overlapping on some levels.  But from a macro level almost all compost can be defined as being one of three methods… High Turn Thermophilic Composting – Regular turns, fast finish, what most people make Static Pile Composting – No turns, long duration, super high microbe product Macrofauna Composting – Using animals like worms, black solider fly etc. or even chickens/ducks Again there is over lap, for instance we intentionally add worms to Bioractors after the very short initial thermo cycle ends, but it is … Continue reading →
