Join Alex and Franky Venegas, known as Flyysoulja and Kodiyakredd respectively, and known collectively as the Island Boys (aka Dan and Cody) as they go #beyondFLG with Kathleen Ventura. She is the co-owner of Compost Crowd, an award-winning compost collection service right here in Northern Arizona. She and her husband, Brock Delinski, offer residential, commercial and event food scraps collection in both Flagstaff and Sedona. Their objective is to keep organic matter out of the landfill, engage the community in this diversion, and return the nutrients to the soil at local farms. Kathleen is an avid environmentalist and was just named Arizona’s Green Leader by Green Living Magazine.  Compost Crowd was also named Arizona's Best Eco-Friendly Service for Your Home, Best Arizona Company Doing Good for the Planet, and Arizona's Best Eco-Friendly Small Business. 

When Kathleen isn’t elbows deep in food scraps and bucket washing, she can be found making vegan food and hosting themed dinner parties, camping in the backcountry or chilling in her refurbished 1994 camper, walking 20,000 steps/day with her rescue dog, or thrifting for gently-used fashion fits. 

In this episode we cover the history and origin of Compost Crowd, adventures in life, and what brought Kathleen and her husband to the west. 

Thank you so much for tuning-in as we go #beyondFLG with Kathleen Ventura.
