When we
mention the word & ?recycling?, we often think of bottles, aluminium cans
& paper. Our 20% of the waste stream is grass & leaves. Most of this
can readily be recycled using composting.
Composting
is the biological reduction of organic material to humus. It is a decomposed
mixture of organic material made from residues of plants and animals.
Compost
Making Activity was done by students of class III. They were taken to the
school ground where they collected leaves and plants waste from the ground.
A pit was
dug and all the material collected was put in it. The pit was covered with
moist soil and the waste material was left to decompose for the formation of
compost.
Students
enjoyed the activity and learnt about the process thoroughly. They also learned
about ? SAVING NATURE?.
