Welcome Future Compost Educators!
Composting is a wonderful way in which a community can work together to reduce the amount of garbage we throw away each day. The difference between composting and recycling is that compost allows us to help grow new fruits, vegetables, and plants in a quicker and healthier way! It is very important for each person in our community to be able to compost in order for us to work together to get the job done!
The
Challenge: Your job is to teach other
people in our community how to compost! You will do this by going to the
following websites and searching for information on composting in order to fill
in the composting brochure we will create for our friends and family!
Answer the following questions to help
create our composting brochure!
1.
Find at least four things that you would put in your
compost pile and four things that you wouldn’t put in your compost pile. You
can include more if you want!
2.
What types of materials can be used to make a compost bin?
3.
Name two types of compost critters that you might find in a
compost pile. You can include more if you want!
4.
