MAKING COMPOST IN OUR ORCHARD AND REDUCING WASTE IN OUR ENVIRONMENT.

5th grade of Primary of Enrique Tierno Galván School in Getafe (Madrid-Spain).

LEADING TEACHER: AIDA MORENO MUÑOZ.

WHAT IS OUR COMMUNITY ACTION PROJECT ABOUT?

We are working in a compost action project involving all our school community.

We chose this project because working on sustainable consumption this school-year we have realised that we need to reduce our consumption and our waste. The huge amount of waste that people are generating everyday is damaging the Earth seriously, so it is urgent to take action and reduce it; making compost with an important part of our organic waste is one of the solutions.

Our main aims, then, are reducing our everyday waste and also generating fertilizer for the plants in our school orchard.
