BTTR Ventures – A Story of a Sustainable LLC: From Coffee to Mushrooms Video | LegalZoom

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 13:59:28 +0000

This video is about how 2 current UC Berkeley grads turned business partners transformed a classroom project into a successful start focused on sustainability & social responsibility. Alex and I developed a local business model in Jan 09 after learning we could grow gourmet mushrooms on recycled coffee grounds. The result: an urban mushroom farm that collects 3000lbs of coffee grounds/week from Peet’s Coffee in NorCal and uses it as the growing medium for mushrooms (such as oyster & shiitake). We currently sell our fresh produce to 8 Whole Foods Markets and 7 farmers markets. Our waste, the post-harvest grounds, becomes rich compost that we donate back to community gardens. Strapped for cash and with no legal experience, we wouldnt have been able to create this business without LegalZoom. It offered us a cheap, streamlined, and efficient way to navigate the legal maze that comes with starting a company! | LegalZoom Customer Story Contest

Toxins in Compost – Geoff Lawton Permaculture

Composting is a classic example of working with nature. When designing compost piles, we are mimicking the natural process of decomposition. We design compost to increase in speed of decomposition, life and diversity beyond the natural process. Compost is a vital part of nutrient cycling for sustainable food production. In this video Geoff discusses small amounts of toxins being included in compost processes. How much do we need to worry about whether our compost ingredients have been in contact with pesticides? What about kitchen scraps from conventional growers?
