Patagonia Awards the Pesticide Free Project $12,000

Aug 20, 2019

I picked up a $12,000 check from Patagonia yesterday morning to support the Pesticide-Free School Project.

I’m honored the employees from the Ventura flagship store chose to stand behind this project designed to build soil, save water, sequester carbon, and improve the health of kids one playground at a time.

I was joined by local students Joel and Sarahí, The Encampment Youth. They both participated in the first Compost tea party held at Rio Lindo Elementary School in El Rio, California.

Together we will organize the next compost-tea party in the Oxnard, California area in October.

We designed the Pesticide Free School Project to be implemented anywhere by anyone. Check back here for a link for a How to Host a Compost Tea Party next month.

There is power in the collective! 💦 

Be resplendent,

Florencia
