Enhancing Campus Sustainability Through Innovative Composting Practices
This initiative led by Hannah K. Morgan explores advanced composting systems on campus, focusing on the collaboration between students, faculty, and various offices to implement a sustainable composting program. The $O2 Compost Micro-Bin Kit and other materials aim to minimize landfill waste and educate the student body on sustainability. By engaging students in hands-on composting activities, the program fosters empowerment and activism, while diversifying waste disposal options and reducing disposal costs associated with landfill tipping fees.
