Camila Guzman, named Ventura’s “Queen of Compost” will share her best practices, help you get started, or improve the system you’re already using.

Cada día, muchos de nosotros desechamos un recurso precioso y valioso: ¡los restos de comida!

Camila Guzmán, nombrada la "Reina del Compost" de Ventura, compartirá sus mejores prácticas, te ayudará a empezar o mejorar el sistema que ya estás utilizando.
