Speaking

Teach systems thinking. Inspire circular action.

We speak to municipalities, advocacy groups, universities, and conferences to make circular organics solutions feel real, local, and doable—without skipping hard constraints.

Core talk topics

Pick one, or ask for a custom blend. We’ll tune the talk to your audience and desired outcome.

1) The Hudson Valley circular organics system

What “closed-loop” actually means in practice: routing, constraints, incentives, and community trust.

2) From waste problem to energy + soil opportunity

Biogas, digestate, biochar, and the “benefits stack” — when it works, and when it doesn’t.

3) Pilot-ready project packaging

How to ship proof artifacts (one-pagers, FAQs, stakeholder lanes) that unlock funding and permitting.

4) Policy & funding pathways

How to think about incentives and grants without turning your initiative into a paperwork graveyard.

5) Environmental Justice realities

How to design projects that reduce burdens and build legitimacy—early and explicitly.

6) Invasive aquatic feedstocks

Why lake and river management can be part of circular systems—if designed responsibly.
