composting

Through the collaboration of environmentalists, researchers and student initiatives, the challenge of campus waste can be solved with innovating ways of reuse and recycling. 

In a lecture the other day, my professor posed a question: how many people know that throwing away organic waste is soon to become illegal in California? No one, myself included, raised their hand. What was this law and why didn’t anyone, assumedly all people who have thrown something away in the state, know anything about its existence?

If you think your composting journey ends after ordering and installing your compost bin, think again. While you made a great decision to start composting, you have a lot more responsibility ahead of you. 

if you find yourself ending every meal with food waste, here is an explanation of how composting options work for the residence halls and dining halls.

Happy Earth Day, Bears! Today's the day to celebrate Mother Earth, so let's do our part in taking care of this lovely planet we call home.
