We are a group of students of the IES Senara in Babilafuente (Salamanca,Spain). We are in 4ºth ESO. We are doing this project to raise awareness in the communities about reusing organic waste to produce compost for the crops.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
The problem is that every year a lot of organic waste isn't recycled and could be used as compost for the crops. The bad use of the organic waste makes the global warming increase. This is why we propose these ideas:
Collecting organic waste in all the villages.
Try to make people to understand why is these important.
Partnerships with agricultural companies.
Make specific containers for these organic waste.
Try to produce our own compost with our organic waste
First of all we need to be a big group of people so these will be easier, then divide the work so everyone is doing something and these will be faster, for the containers we could talk with the president of the comunity of ''Las Villas'' to create and install these containers in the villages and talk with big agricultural companies to help us with the process of making compost.
A reduction in organic waste disposal, less investment in compost by farmers since we will produce it ourselves, and less environmental pollution, the contribution of people of all villages...
We can try to get help from big companies but also to small businesses, schools, AMPA, associations... We can prepare talks for schools and high schools to raise awareness among the youngest about the current problem and how easy it would be to reduce it if we all do our part. Also talk with the mayors of the villages for some economic helps.
