Description: Community Composting and Soil Health
Within the global context of climate change and environmental justice, explore the ways in which
community composting serves to alleviate and overcome burdens of climate justice. Examine the role
of composting in waste management, soil health, community well-being, and regenerative food
systems. Understand and engage in monitoring of soil health using tools such as simple soil and plant
tests, and microscopy. Apply our understanding of these principles to service learning projects on
campus and in the community, such as the Pitzer Student Garden, and with local organizations like
Food Cycle Collective, Huerta del Valle, Buena Vista Community Garden, etc.
