Montana, age 9

I collect the raw food waste from 7 classrooms and the staffroom everyday. I sometimes add leaves and dirt to make the compost work better. Everyone can compost. We do it at our house too. I am part of the Green Team at my school. We made our school parking lot idle-free so no exhaust pollutes at our school. We even made our whole district do it!

The Green Team checks that no paper is in the garbage. It should be in the recycle bin. Our Green Team is organizing a soft plastics recycling depot every month. We make sure all lights are turned off at breaks and make sure no juice boxes are in the garbage.
