Mission Statement:
The goal of Compost The Future is to provide a source of cheap, organic compost for local farms while providing a source of revenue to those participating in the supply, land, and labor involved with the project.
Explanation
The project would have residents from The Evergreen State College campus, The Greenery (the cafeteria on campus), and a series of households close to Evergreen’s campus provide composting materials in two bins; a “greens” bin and a “browns” bin. A series of “collectors” would be in charge of picking up these bins once every Saturday, bringing the materials to the organic farm on campus. Once at the farm, there are a series of “laborers” in charge of balancing the correct ratio of greens to browns, as well as rotating the compost piles once every Monday.
After the compost becomes marketable, it is bagged and sold to a series of local farms. The profits are distributed among the suppliers, collectors, distributors, Evergreen’s organic farm, and my organization on a monthly basis. In this case, “profits” include any amount of money made after covering costs of production. 10% is split among suppliers, (this can be taken away from individuals if regulations are not followed when providing materials) 25% among laborers and collectors, 25% among Evergreen’s Organic Farm for providing appropriate facilities, and the remaining 40% is given to Project: New World.
