Testimonials
From Compost Man Stan’s former students — of all ages.
“Mr. Slaughter was my science teacher at Ervin Junior High School [in the 70’s]. He was a fabulous teacher who helped awaken the environmentalist in me. I remember celebrating the very first Earth Day in his class. I still think about him. I raised 4 environmentally conscious children who are sharing a love of the earth with my 10 grandkids. His life’s work has been very impactful.”
— Verna S. P.
