Agromin Named Climate Action Leader by California Climate Action Registry

March 30, 2009 - PRLog -- OXNARD, CALIF.--Agromin, the green materials recycler for more than 50 communities in Ventura, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Orange counties, has been designated a Climate Action Leader by the California Climate Action Registry.

   The Climate Action Registry is a non-profit organization originally formed by the State of California. Members voluntarily promise to monitor and register greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Registry members that have successfully verified their emissions inventory earn the status of Climate Action Leader.

   Of the 347 registry members, Agromin is the only green materials recycling company. By joining the California Climate Action Registry, member organizations demonstrate their concern regarding global climate change. By becoming a Climate Action Leader, members are taking action by measuring, verifying and reporting their GHG emissions to the California Registry and to the public.

   "Joining the California Registry and making a commitment now to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions is the right thing to do," says Bill Camarillo, Agromin CEO. "Soon, all businesses will be required to undertake this type of reporting. Agromin has always strived to be a sustainable, carbon-neutral, energy-efficient company. Making the pledge to monitor and report our GHG emissions through the registry is part of that vision."

Agromin manufactures premium soil products for the agriculture and horticulture trades and for consumer use. For more than 30 years, Agromin has provided quality soil amendments and products to some of California's largest vegetable, citrus, avocado and strawberry growers. Agromin is also the green waste recycler for over 50 communities in Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Ventura and Orange counties. Each month, Agromin receives and processes thousands of tons of urban wood and green waste. Agromin then uses a safe, organic and scientific system to formulate its soil products from the processed recycled green waste. The result is more vigorous and healthier plants and gardens, and on the conservation side, more room in landfills and less greenhouse gas emissions. Agromin was recently named "Composter of the Year" by the U.S. Composting Council.
