Why did I want to get certified? I'm passionate about creating change in my community for organics recycling. I believe that a thorough understanding of the why and how is necessary for any leader to possess when trying to make a difference. The USCC certification is our nation's leader for composting advocacy, education and certification. I'm proud that Turn is a member of and certified by this great organization.
