One third of NYC’s trash is organic — but too often this useful waste gets wasted. Domingo is working to solve this problem and grow plants for New York’s tomorrow. And after managing Red Hook Farms’s composting operation, he’s an expert in food chemistry, safe and healthy composting habits, and teaching others to make it happen. Domingo is developing a “how to” compost guide and launching a new podcast called Compost Power to share expertise in support of composting processes around the city.
