  8. White HatWhat do we know about composting? Green and brown items 30% of all garbage could be used in compost Only food is allowed in compost Meat, dairy products, bread, citrus peels (worm farms), fish, bones – are not allowed in compost bins Food scraps make soil no wrappers in compost

  9. Green HatWhat thoughts/ideas/questions do you have about composting? How long will it take for us to start this process? Will the preps understand? How much time will it take for the compost to decompose? Can we put twigs, leaves and hay into our compost?How can we do this at cohr?

  11. Black HatThink of some of the reasons why composting might be difficult at COHR? Might take a long time to build up our compost Our compost bin might not be big enough Our hands get dirty– need gloves to keep it hygienic Have to keep it moist and mix it We need a cover for our compost Might be difficult to collect all the food scraps Could have rats or pests if we compost incorrectly Where will we get all the materials that we will need?

  12. Red HatHow do you feel about a school composting program? Happy that we’re not throwing away food scraps in the bin, but that we are contributing to the environment We are helping our plants to grow Excited to be a part of the program Happy because we are not affecting our waterways Proud of our efforts to compost Amazed to see the compost process in action

  13. Blue HatUsing all this information, what will composting at COHR look like? Everyone working together– cooperation It will look clean and nice A good opportunity to get together and talk It looks fun to take care of our environment This might make us start composting within our own homes It could be smelly A community – building knowledge and resources
