Meet the Young Visionary Who’s Making Composting “Cool”

“Domingo Morales will be the first to tell you that composting changed his life.

It all started in 2015 when the Brooklyn resident spotted a flier for Green City Force — an AmeriCorps sustainability training program aimed at youth within the New York City Housing Authority. Morales fit the description of an ideal applicant to a T and, feeling aimless after quitting his restaurant job months before, thought it might be a sign.
