HOW WE GOT STARTED
Compost Carpool started as a simple Google search, and evolved into a movement. Melissa, driven by a desire to live more sustainably, found herself searching for the easiest ways to reduce her carbon footprint. The solution? Composting. But living in a townhouse with no garden made it impossible to compost on her own. She wondered, “Wouldn’t it be great if someone could just pick it up and do something good with it?”
That thought marked the beginning of Compost Carpool, where food scraps were collected and transformed into something beneficial!
Meanwhile, John, Melissa’s husband, wasn’t initially sold on the idea. When Melissa first proposed the concept of a composting business, he laughed, but as he witnessed Melissa’s passion grow, something in him shifted.
Over time, John found himself learning about the impacts of food waste and chemical farming, and slowly, he embraced the idea. The more he learned, the more he realized the impact of small, intentional changes.
Both Melissa and John are proud advocates for sustainability. Their journey proves that when passion and knowledge meet, real change can happen. Together, along with the Compost Carpool team and community, they are making a difference, one compost bucket at a time!
