Today we started composting our lunch scraps and the carrot patrol was very pleased with the efforts. Today alone we diverted 17.6 pounds of food scraps from the landfill. It'll be interesting to see if more scraps are produced on certain days, which months produce more, etc. We'll be doing some cool science and math studies with this project. Middle school compost club - don't forget to start signing up for collection duties next to the main cafeteria doors.

The Cortland Standard had an awesome article about what you guys are doing. We should all be proud because there are only a couple other schools in the whole state that compost like this.
