Panel Discussion of Composting on Thursday, January 13, 2022 from 4 to 5 p.m.

Janet Ruth Heller will be on a panel discussion of composting sponsored by Hope for Creation. The focus is on composting as a way for congregations to care for creation. Our panel will discuss why composting is so important in a garden; how to make good compost; what the condition of soil is around the world; and how some local congregations embrace composting as part of their Green Teams’ work. Panelists are from People’s Church, Temple B’nai Israel, and Westminster Presbyterian Church in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
