Our Founder

Louis got tired of throwing food scraps in the trash & decided to take action. He started Carbon Compost as a social impact organization to improve the environment while enriching the lives of the Pittsburgh community & his fellow teammates. He is passionate about the role that business can play in making a more sustainable & equitable world.

 

Operations Associate

Ashley has always had a strong passion and desire to spread knowledge and love for the outdoors and with that sustainability! Naturally, composting has become a major topic in her life and has immensely added to her own PGH experience. When she’s not hauling compost you can find her birding and foraying in Frick Park as well as creating and growing her own garden and mycology lab for mushroom cultivation and mycoremediation.
