Rich Earth Institute Urine Donor Kick-Off
Wednesday April 28, 7 pm on Zoom
The Rich Earth Institute is hosting an online event to celebrate its current urine donors and inspire new people to consider participating in this unique community program. For the first time in its nearly 10-year history, Rich Earth is expanding its operations to a new community in Rockingham, VT, where residents will soon have the opportunity to contribute their urine to a unique environmental initiative. The Rockingham Conservation Commission is supporting this initiative.
Currently, around 200 dedicated volunteers in Brattleboro donate their bodily nutrients to Rich Earth's program, creating a source of sustainable fertilizer for local farms, reducing downstream nutrient pollution, and conserving thousands of gallons of clean, potable water. In 2020, Rich Earth collected over 10,400 gallons of liquid gold in total.
The annual Urine Donor Kick-off, held this year on Zoom, honors their dedication and initiates another year of urine nutrient reclamation. "Without our donors, we'd be nowhere," says Rich Earth's executive director Ivan Ussach, "so we relish the chance to say thank you and have some fun together."
