Composting in the DSA Middle School Cafeteria!
Donation protected
Hey Everybody!
The Durham School of the Arts "Eco Chicos" are on a mission, and we need your help! For the past year we have been organizing the implementation of a composting system in our Middle School cafeteria. Based on successful strategies used by EK Powe and Club Boulevard Elementaries, we will be partnering with the local composting service CompostNow to turn our lunchroom waste into rich, usable compost.
This project began when we realized that our biodegradable lunch trays were being put in the trash. By taking the next step to compost the trays, we can prevent the production of greenhouse gases that occurs in the landfill. Additionally, this project will serve as a valuable learning opportunity to educate students about sustainability and environmental awareness.
We are currently seeking funds to cover the start-up costs of this system. In order to fund composting long-term, we are working with our school administration and PTSA to include the costs of composting collection in the annual budget.
We plan on fully implementing this project at the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year.
Thank you for any donations that you can contribute!
