Dear Newsletter Friends,

Can we stop the spraying of toxic chemicals? We can certainly help our neighbors, parks departments, schools, universities, city councils and the landscape industry to get on board and reduce or put an end to the spraying of Roundup and other toxic chemicals all across the country. We have something new that teaches how to use natural-organic alternatives instead.

Until now no university or school of any kind has offered a degree program or certification in the world of organic gardening, farming, horticulture or agriculture. That has now changed with the introduction of TORC's Natural-Organic Certification Course. I teach the course for the non profit organization in 15 chapters covered by video and a 25 page study booklet. The cost is reasonable and the details are explained using photography that I have been amassing for the past 45 years. I think you will enjoy the course and becoming a member of our certified community. As a subscriber to my Newsletter, you are being offered a 10% discount by using the promo code TORCCERT10 when you register.
 
Taking this course can improve your gardening & landscaping and also help you to teach others to be Toxin Free!

Upon successful completion of the 15 video chapters and quizzes, you will be contacted by TORC in order to receive your official TORC Natural-Organic Certificate. 

Note: The quiz functionality of the Certification is only compatible on a computer, although the videos can be viewed on any device (i.e. computer, tablet, phone). Successful completion of all 15 chapter tests is required to qualify for a certificate. The videos will not track your progress if you start a chapter, leave, and want to resume it later. In this case, you should keep track of your timecode in the video to be able to return to the point where you left off.
