• Marin study urges smarter use of organic waste (marinij.com) — A new Marin County study says smarter use of organic waste could significantly cut greenhouse gases, spotlighting facilities like West Marin Compost in Nicasio that handle local logs, branches, and yard debris. Officials are weighing investments in gasification, expanded composting, and biochar production to turn wildfire fuel reduction and green waste into renewable energy, healthier soils, and more resilient agriculture across the county.
