Join the North Carolina Composting Council for our first Sustainable Spirits event in Charlotte on October 16th from 5:30-7:30pm at the Innovation Barn. Sustainable Spirits are unstructured, professional networking events for everyone interested in sustainability issues such as composting, environmental policy, healthy soils, environmental justice, climate resilience, renewable energy, resource conservation, civic engagement, the circular economy and more!

Sustainable Spirits are free to attend, but please rsvp in advance to help us prepare an appropriate amount of food.
