Millennium Fellowship Project: Fuel For the Gardens
The main goal for my composting project (Fuel for the Gardens) is to reduce the amount of food waste that goes in landfills - hence decreasing the amount of methane that goes into the atmosphere. The short term goal for my project is to teach the Pace community (my school) how and what to compost and the importance of it , and in doing so, the hope is for our composting rates to increase. The middle term goal is to build and construct a compost drum on our campus. This will in hopes decrease the amount of carbon we use since we won't be using transportation to go to a faraway composting facility. We will compost our schools food waste there. The long term goal is to hopefully create a business with our composting drum and to sell the compost we create. All of these, if successfully done, will decrease the amount of foodwaste that goes in landfills - which will in return decrease the amount of methane going into the atmosphere.
