Our students are so excited to track our Donors Choose progress with Compost Craze! Compost Craze is the first step in launching a school-wide compost collection system, fully designed and implemented by our 6th grade students. The students have conducted a trial period of compost collection to gather concrete data that we used to calculate the volume of compost that we can expect to produce each week and have chosen these specific bins as the best candidates for meeting our weekly schoolwide compost output. Students have taken ownership over this project and are looking forward to rolling out this system in the coming months once we have our compost collection bins. "Dear Donors, We are starting to make a garden to improve the ecosystem. But the soil texture is mostly clay, which is bad. We want loam in our soil and to have that we would need 40% silt, 40% sand, and 20% clay. You may wonder why clay is bad. It is bad because it holds too much water and it is hard to dig in. To improve our soil we need to amend it. To amend the soil we are making a compost bin. We want the compost to help us grow plants and make Earth a better place, but how do we do that? Well if you live in a house or an apartment or you're in a building or a mall right now. Most likely to make where you are trees and plants were cut down and plants and trees provide oxygen for us. So we want to give some of what we took back to nature. I am not a science expert but I do want to help my school and to do that I need your help. Sincerely, A.D."
