TSA participates in Super Compost Project
We are so excited to announce that TSA is participating in the Upper Valley Super Compost Project!
The Upper Valley Super Compost Project is institutionalizing living compost systems into 24 participating school outdoor classrooms. The goal is to increase real-world problem-solving opportunities, enhance the health of schoolyards, school and community gardens, and save schools money.
On-site compost systems have the potential to shift current organics hauling fees paid by most schools into an investment in school staff, students, community engagement, and regeneration. In addition to saving money, compost systems serve as a classroom extension enhancing STEM curriculum and providing a mechanism for a student-run business. This replicable model will lay a foundation for regions to collaborate in systemic change-making.
The UV Super Compost Project Team is working hard to raise the one-time costs of implementing the project. In addition to federal and state grants, private donors and foundation requests, the UVSCP team has created a crowdfunding campaign to demonstrate the expansive community support for providing schools and students with innovative resources and tools they need to implement solutions to real-world problems like climate change.
