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?

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!
