The Compost Caf. Project

THE COMPOST CAF. PROJECT:
--@15 Challenge Entry--
The Compost Caf. Project
The Compost Caf. Project was initiated by the Green Teens in the Spring of 2008, but is now just getting started. The goal of the project is to transform the E.O. Smith Cafeteria (and then spread the project to other schools) into a compost production center rather than a wasteful lunch room.
How will we go about ensure that our cafeteria takes steps towards becoming zero waste?

Green Teen History!

A GREEN TEEN HISTORY:
Green Teens started as a conversation around the lunch table between co-founders Jessie Mehrhoff (GreenTeensJessie), Kelsey Sullivan (GreenTeensKelsey), and Lindsay Haythorn. The girls decided that though our community prided itself on being environmental, it was not reaching out to the youth or showing adults what simple ways they could tweak their daily life in order to “live green”.

Currently, our high school uses mostly Styrofoam and plastic in the cafeteria, and it all gets thrown out, the Green Teens are about to change that!

How will we go about ensure that our cafeteria takes steps towards becoming zero waste?

New Website

Hey Everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that Green Teens finally has a new website-- Yay! We have been without one for several months now, and especially after the summit, we realize how important having a website is! You can now find Green Teens at http://www.greenteensusa.org ! Of course the website is brand new so it isn't too flashy and a bit empty-- but I promise, soon there will be a lot of great stuff on the site!

Thanks,
Jess
