 We made a zero waste day to reduce waste. Before we had industrial composting, we were throwing away 88 pounds of food waste every day. That's 97% of the weight of our lunchtime waste. Every day we threw away around 220 styrofoam trays. We can make a change to our school. Compost trays turn into dirt. Trash trays you can't do anything with. At our school, when there was styrofoam trays, we used to throw away a whole order. That's how high the trays were. We made signs and scans, and now we have achieved our goal. And we inspired our school to change from styrofoam trays to compostable ones. Hi, my name is Madeline Murphy, and these are my posters that I made about trash. We can make a change to our school. Post it. Yeah, love you girl, but I want to hurry up and play my minus game, so can you get this over with? Fine, just ask me what composting is. Okay, what's composting? I'm glad you asked because I'm going to tell you. Composting is when food scraps are set aside from the trash and go into a pile to become soil someday. If I were put in the trash, I would be sent to a landfill, a giant pile of trash that just sits there for a hundred of years. But if I get composted, I can put my nutrients back in the soil. Great, we're done. Just give me one more minute. Fine, but I'm going to boot up my game. Composting is much better for the earth. When the trash in the landfills is burned, they release carbon dioxide into the air, which is a greenhouse gas, which means it makes earth warmer and causes global warming. Global warming, got it. I want to help the next generation of apples like me. All of a sudden. In another town in Massachusetts, they've banned fruits like us from going in the trash. Great, amazing. So let's just do that in Erlington. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. It's not that easy, but help from some of the students. We can definitely make a change. Orange, you glad I told you about composting? Totally.
