Jonathan Riedel

Jonathan Riedel hails from Fort Myers, FL and has long had an acute interest in how worms turn organic matter into dirt. He currently has a worm bin (collectively named "Wally") under his kitchen sink, and recently became a certified Community Composter by the Lower East Side Ecology Center. In the vacant lot next to his Harlem apartment, Jonathan is working with city officials to start a community garden. When he is not composting (or teaching about it), Jonathan can either be found working at a non-profit in Brooklyn as a legal advocate for New Yorkers affected by illness or managing his language translations company.
