Composting Partnership in Gwinnett Schools Keeps Food Waste Out Of Landfills - GDP
/
Composting isn’t anything new for Baggett Elementary School third-grader Maya Terrazas. But using it as an educational tool toward the end of the recent school year was a bit different.
Terrazas, 8, has been doing composting at home for about a year. She didn’t begin doing it at school, however, until the third-graders moved into learning about pollution during the last month of the school year.
That got her involved with Baggett’s Compost Connectors group, a collection of students who take the leftover food waste from their classmates lunches and uses it to make compost which can, in turn, be used in gardens.
Needless to say, Terrazas has really gotten into making compost and how it can help create a sustainable circle of food production.
