The Soil Makers

Placing 50+ Soil Makers around the city, at key locations, and leading community events, we can start activating the entire city of Los Angeles to become the most sustainable city in the world. Regenerating and healing the lands devastated by wildfire, building community, and offering hope to those who lost everything. Citizens get to participate in the regeneration of their beloved city by simply throwing their food scraps in a soil maker, right next to the trash can. Soil Makers feed trees, sequester carbon and turn problems into solutions.

Our Curriculum is based on the book How to Make Soil, it's a hands-on curriculum that brings soil science to life. We also install in-ground, composting towers called Soil Makers in school gardens, giving students a real-time, living example of how food waste becomes soil. Our curriculum blends soil science, storytelling, music, and creativity—so students not only learn about ecosystems and the carbon cycle, but also feel emotionally connected to the healing process. When kids understand how to make soil, they’re learning how to heal the Earth.
