Phoebe Gardner is the co-founder and CEO of Bardee, a truly novel solution to climate change.
Well have ya heard of composting? It’s a neat idea to take food waste that would otherwise generate methane gas in landfills and repurpose it for fertilizer. The trouble is, it takes a long time to do it.
Bardee has taken that process one step further.
They use Black Solder Fly larvae to turn food waste into a usable product in just seven days, while actually being carbon positive.
Honestly, it’s a remarkable solution to a huge problem, and her team has raised millions in funding so far.
