Marvin Hayes is founder of the Baltimore Composting Collective, “a youth-empowered collective, Black-owned business, building a diverse composting community in Baltimore.” The Baltimore Compost Collective is a local service that collects food scraps, composts them at the Filbert Street Community Garden in Curtis Bay, fostering urban food security, and operates as a youth entrepreneurship program, employing local teenagers and providing hands-on training in workforce skills and community-scale composting.
Dan Brown is co-founder of Rust Belt Riders, a worker-owned cooperative, committed to climate resilience, food autonomy, and workplace democracy with a mission to “Feed People, Not Landfills.” Since 2014, they have provided composting solutions for food waste, turning it into compost that nourishes locally grown food, contributing to a circular, regional economy and practicing workplace democracy in their mission to create wealth from waste.
