8th Graduation from Composting!
Posted by Thomas IezinOver the last 30 weeks our graduating 8th grade class has spent part of their service learning with Park City Compost Initiative learning the science behind compost, and how to properly maintain a compost pile. In our own Unquowa garden with food scraps from our Unquowa kitchen the 8th graders got to learn about porosity, bulk density, vermicomposting, carbon sequestration, understanding the macro and micro organisms lifeforms that take part in a compost pile, and most importantly why composting our food scraps is so valuable and impactful to our environment. After their 30 weeks of learning and hands-on practice, they have not only graduated 8th grade but have all also become certified Compost Apprentice’s!
