Resource sustainability, role modeling, and science experiments are reasons why schools should have a compost bin, a recycling bin, and a worm farm. The three items in question teach faculty, staff, and students how to use compostable kitchen scraps and yard debris, recyclable inorganic materials, and sustainability-friendly organisms. Composting, recycling, and vermi-composting will result in clearer understandings of ecology and in more efficient resource use.

Can all food scraps off the dinner plate be recycled into the same recycling bin?
Food scraps are not usually recycled, unless they are collected for composting or for feeding animals, for example, a local pig farm. You can put your food scraps into a compost bin in your garden, or into a worm farm on your balcony, or into a Bokashi compost bin, where microorganisms are added to the scraps. When the container has composted you keep back a bit of the result to use as starter for your next bin, rather like yoghurt or ginger beer. Meat and fish scraps are usually not composted as they can smell and attract vermin.

What is the difference between compost and manure?
Composting is the purposeful biodegradation of organic matter, such as yard and food waste. The decomposition is performed by micro-organisms, mostly bacteria, but also yeasts and fungi. Vermicompost, or Vcompost, is the heterogenous mixture of decomposing vegetable or food waste, bedding materials, and pure vermicast produced during the course of normal vermiculture operations. (Vermicomposting uses worms. Vermis is Latin for worms).
How is your family affected if you have a worm farm?
If you have a worm farm your family will be helping to do their bit to reduce their carbon footprint. Every scrap of food stopped from going to landfill means less methane gas in the atmosphere. And methane gas is 20 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. If the worm farm is looked after properly (no overfeeding) there is no smell. It can be kept in the garden, on a balcony, or even inside the house. It produces wonderful compost and fertilizer for your plants. All your family have to do is to keep the vegetables and other food scraps for the worms (worms are vegetarians!). And your family learns more about recycling and the environment and is proud to do a little bit to help!
