Weekly Update 5/1/15
Important Information & Reminders:
Vermi-Composting
We have begun vermi-composting! The worms in our bin will eat food scraps and break them down into a rich compost. On Fridays after school, students can bring in their “green” scraps from lunch and cut the scraps up into small pieces and add them to the worm bin. In order to motivate students to reduce the lunchtime waste, students can waive their LRC fines up to $0.50 when they bring in their lunch scraps for LRC composting.
Worms WILL eat:
-- apples, grapes, bananas, carrots, peppers, celery, cucumbers, watermelon, strawberries, blueberries, peas
Worms WILL NOT eat:
-- bread, lunchmeat, chips, cheese, candy, anything processed
