Founding Members
EPWN co-founder
Rose Seemann
Rose operates EnviroWagg, an EPWN project in Colorado U.S. dedicated to collecting and composting canine waste into safe, nutrient-rich, landscape soil. The program collects and processes tons of dog waste annually from trailheads and parks in the Denver-Boulder corridor.
Rose's goal is to educate and guide pet owners and communities in the safe and responsible up-cycling of their dogs' and cats' waste. In doing so she hopes to nudge the world toward a more sustainable future.
EPWN co-founder
Ruth Miller
Ruth has spent most of her working years in a ‘harm prevention’ capacity in both government and not-for-profit sectors. In 2019, Ruth led a South Australian trial to divert all the dog waste at her local dog park from landfill to a composting facility. This was the beginning of her interest in encouraging more pet owners to consider eco-friendly options.
As a current owner of two Labradors, Ruth has ample opportunity to ‘walk the talk’ and composts Labrador poop in a tumbler!
