In-School Composting Technical Assistance
Schools can use in-school composting programs as experiential educational opportunities as well as "Walking their Talk" in sustainable facility management and waste reduction. Tamara will help teachers, principals, district representatives, custodians, parents, and students set up a cohesive program for composting the food waste generated at a school. She can help you through a Waste Audit, setting up food scrap separation and collection, selecting a compost system, operating and harvesting your compost as well as marketing the compost for community outreach and fundraising.
Written material(s) (e.g. curriculum guides, unit plan, lesson plan, etc), Professional development / Training workshops, Classroom presentation, Volunteer Opportunities - Student, Public Health
Participants will learn how to do a Waste Audit, how to select and operate a compost system, what to do with the compost, how to involve community and more. Compost education will include microbiology, chemistry, data collection, soil health, ecology and more. Terre-Source can help teachers use the composting program to teach all of those topics as well as weights and measures, recycling, and scientific method.
