PREPARING
COMPOST IN THE SCHOOL
Eco Club
Activity
Nothing is
wasted in Nature. This simple truth was convincingly demonstrated by Eco Club
members of grade 9 and 10 during the month of April 2015. As a part of our
business enterprise ‘Good Earth’, we have decided to diversify our
business by preparing compost from the dry leaves lying scattered in the school
campus. An empty pit is already available in the school
campus. Dry leaves in the school premises were collected and put in the pit.
The students took special care to remove plastic materials, polythene, metallic
objects and other harmful substances when collecting the waste. The compost
will take four months to prepare and will be used in the earthen plants for planting
saplings and flower cuttings. Getting hands-on-experience, the students also
realized the dignity of labour.
