Compost

Thu, 08 Sep 2011 23:16:41 GMT

We have started our long-term compost experiment for this year. Our school now has an outdoor compost which can be used by anyone.

We plan:

To put compost bins in classrooms and after students get used to composting try putting one in the commons.
To Put a webcam in the compost to see our progress and to also make a stop motion video of how our compost progresses over the year.

After The Experiment:

We had huge sucess during this experiment. People recycled. We didn't gather any data though as there was too little to gather from. People seemed to be comming only for the candy and not for the benefit of the envirionment. We would like to ask you: how can we improve on this problem?

Thank you,

The Environmental Club at Centennial Collegiate

Before the Experiment:

We will be condcting an experiment on how much people like to recycle. We want to find out if people do it for the enviroments good or only for their own convinience.

On February 2rd we will set up a booth in the comons, stand over the recycling and compost bins and to everyone that recycles we will give a special prize.

On February 9th we will set up the same booth and watch over it, but there will no longer be any prizes.

On February 16th we will set up a booth and leave it there alone for the whole lunch hour.

From these experiments we hope to find out how much compost we generate, how much recyclable materials, and also if people recycle for the enviroments good. The data can latter be found on the website.

Recycling is a big thing for the environment. Everyone can help. We have a blue bin that we are going to put outside of room 225 after decorating it. Anyone can come and put plastic in it. This will be a small step to help save the environment. :)
