[Terrapreta] Charcoal in Compost? 4USA?

[Ron Larson]

Lynn:

    This is a great idea - and I do not believe it has come up at all on this list.  My udnerstanding is that there are major community-based hurdles for incineration at recycle centers.  We should be able to do pyrolysis cleanly, but I am not aware of any commercial units that are specifically designed for this.  I hope that those representing commercial companies will comment on whether they see this as a good early market for char production.

  Hello, I was wondering if here in the USA, if any of your delegates/volunteers are  working at making the rounds to get your info to ALL the recycle centers, especially those that offer compost to the local residents.  Most have wood in the waste stream, and with education and facilitation, perhaps these local compost distribution centers can offer compost mixed with charcoal to their customers.   Or even plain charcoal.   
  No doubt it would  be very rewarding going to all the "Recycle Conventions" to offer your valuable gift of knowledge to the already converted Save Our Planet types.  OR, you could set up your own convention, or just e-mail the group your info for a start.
  Please tell me you have done all of this, and I am just a day late...
  I've just sent your web page to Deschutes County, Oregon.   Let's hope they are receptive.   Thanks for your good work.   Cheers, Lynn Hanlon
