Kansas City based artist and educator Stan Slaughter has been traveling the country singing songs and sharing stories with kids and adults since 1987. Stan helped create the very first Earth Day celebration in Kansas City and has made “Every Day is Earth Day” his motto ever since. Speaking at Master Gardeners’ groups, teaching adults in compost workshops, singing at water festivals and zoos, and doing thousands of assemblies for more than 400,000 students, Stan takes his message to both kids and grownups - and makes it fun along the way.
Stan has a passion for life and for this beautiful planet, and loves sharing that passion with others through his songs and presentations. He has a master's degree in biology, is extraordinarily educated on soil microbes and what they can do for our gardens, and currently works as the director of education for Missouri Organic Recycling, the largest composting facility in the Kansas City region. In my interview with him today, we talk about his background, his accomplishments and accolades (including an invitation from HRH Prince Charles) and, of course, compost. Stan has some great insights on what makes a good compost pile, why it's important, and how gardeners can get started in their backyards and even their basements. Join me as I interview Stan "The Compost Man" Slaughter.
