Founders Bio
TAWA Compost Food Rescue Founder, David Alexander, is a serial entrepreneur who started at the young age of 8 years old in his business pursuits selling popsicles. After spending years focusing on a bicycle business manufacturing tools and unobtainable vintage bicycle components, David became interested in food rescue, formulating the idea of TAWA Compost Food Rescue after volunteering with Food Forward and LA Compost. He realized that there was a disconnect between food rescue and the composting process and believed he could create a significant impact by marrying the two. Subsequently David proposed his ideas to his professor at LA Trade Tech as an urban intervention project in 2021. This project went on to win funding from the US Composting Council in 2022, and has grown into a thriving climate impacting initiative by inspiring new composting businesses to launch food rescue operations. David’s foundation in commerce taught him that many things that are discarded can be transformed to provide value. He applies this principle to TAWA Compost Food Rescue today, turning ‘trash’ into gold.

Global sustainable goals that this project is looking to accomplish.
Nature is abundant so are we. TAWA wants to inspire others by creating new forms of business circularity, redistribution, and regeneration of resources.
Our food rescue efforts will bring much food and the opportunity to learn how to preserve produce and other items for future consumption.
Food rescue aspect will focus on healthy options for stronger healthier communities.
TAWA will seek to implement programs that teach to expand people's identity, consciousness, perception, and the importance of a balanced life.
Gender equality. Education on the gender spectrum.
Biogas and renewable energy.
Renewable energy through local effort in re-using waste will empower the community to raise to newly created positions. The care of soil will bring health and new opportunities.
Inequalities are reduced through gender spectrum education.
Empowering communities to grow as a micro-economy where most is locally sourced.
With the use of AI we will identify overproduction of goods that ultimately get thrown away. Identifying patterns and communication with producers.
Sequestering carbon in soil with compost and other methods.
Reversing desertification. Creating new habitable land for future generations. Decontamination of soil for healthy future.
We cannot do it alone. This project is huge; The final product is the restoration of health, happiness and abundance and the preservation of our beautiful planet Earth.
