Sustainability is a learned, habitual behavior, it doesn't happen overnight. The youth are the key to creating a more sustainable world and it all starts with paying attention to the little things!

One of the most surprising contributors to global warming is food waste. When food decomposes it releases methane; a greenhouse gas that is 84x more potent than CO2. Furthermore, the space that food takes up in landfills is space that is lost for the things that are actually supposed to be there. Through composting, our school's carbon footprint would decrease and there would be plenty of compost for the garden tended by the agricultural club and local gardens.
