From food waste to full harvest, Kris Steele ’08, ’12 and Eric Theys ’13 are cultivating a cleaner, greener Charlotte — one compost bin and backyard at a time.💚 ⤵️ 🌱 Started as crowntowncompost in 2015 — now has blossomed into a three-season urban farm growing cucumbers, fruit trees & native grasses. ♻️ Their mission? Reduce, reuse, recycle — and rethink how we care for our environment. 🤙 Kris + Eric both earned their undergraduate degree from clt_chess. Later, Kris received his MPA, focusing on environmental studies. 🚛 crowntowncompost offers easy pickup or drop-off — fueling fresh food, home gardens, and eco-friendly landscapes with crowntownlandscapes. 🌸 Coming soon: Pick-your-own flowers, agri-volunteering & community education at crowntownfarm. #WorldEnvironmentDay
