New Earth Project: Empowering Youth to Curb Climate Change

Host Nan Franzblau visits the New Earth Project work sites to talk with kids on the crew about the goals of the project, how the crew collects and processes large amounts of food and wood “waste” each week, and what they are learning from their jobs.  The kids share details about how to build, fill, and maintain Johnson-Su bioreactors and how this composting process is unique in its capacity to create a fungal dominant soil amendment.  The New Earth Project directors also chime in with not only their hopes for how the project will continue to empower the kids, but how the kids have helped to shape the project.
