The MREA’s March webinar will feature Susan Schuller, Executive Director of Recycling Connections, for an engaging deep dive into backyard composting — from the fundamentals to practical tips you can put to use right away.

Learn how to turn everyday food scraps into nutrient-rich “black gold” compost while reducing waste and lowering your climate impact. Whether you’re brand new to composting or looking to refine your system, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to build healthier soil and make the most of what would otherwise go to waste.

Susan Schuller is the Executive Director for Recycling Connections providing professional development services and consultations in zero waste, recycling, organics diversion, and waste reduction. She is an avid backyard composter with over 20 years of experience. She holds a MS in Natural Resources, BS in Biology/Chemistry, and two decades of teaching environmental education and sustainability topics. She has served on several boards and committees to advance environmental issues related to green schools, bird conservation, and environmental ed.

Can’t make it to the live webinar? No worries! We’ll upload the recorded webinar to YouTube the next business day so you won’t miss out.

About the MREA’s Webinar Series:

Join the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) for a free, monthly webinar series exploring the renewable energy and sustainability topics you want to learn more about. These interactive sessions take place on the last Tuesday of every month at 5:30 p.m. and are hosted virtually for easy access from anywhere.

The MREA was founded from our historic Energy Fair event — an annual gathering that brought together thousands of attendees to explore sustainability, clean energy, and actionable solutions for a greener future. While the Fair has since been retired, its spirit of education, connection, and action lives on. This monthly webinar series continues that legacy by creating space for learning, discussion, and community around today’s most relevant clean energy and sustainability topics.

These webinars are free and open to all. We do encourage participants to become MREA members to help support our work and ensure we can continue offering accessible education and advocacy across the Midwest.
