Composting at Millstone of Ivy
Posted by Paige
Last week I had the opportunity to go and visit the Summer Camp going on at Millstone of Ivy. I saw many familiar faces! Last week the Summer Camp was focusing on going Green and teaching the kids about all the different ways they could be healthy to the environment.Last week’s topics included Recycling, Solar Power, Hybrid Cars, Green Roofs and I presented on Composting. The kids were great! The younger one’s were excited and enjoyed learning what compost was and how to compost. The older kids, ages 5-8 surprised me! Most were familiar with composting and even composted at home. Way to go Charlottesville. Their questions were more in depth, asking about why compost needs air? And, why you couldn’t compost animal waste?
I left a compost bin behind for the school to start their own composting program. Look at all the excited faces!
The Blue Ridge Eco Shop, and I, love getting out into the community, educating and helping you and your children learn how to be healthier for yourselves and the planet. If you are interested in having a speak to your school, church or organization, please contact Paige at paige@blueridgeecoshop.com.
My daughter loved the presentation! Thanks for coming out to Millstone.
