All compostable waste will be going in separate bins, and then to a compost heap. Before long, today's lunch waste will become compost! And a lot of waste has been diverted from the landfill, which is the best Earth Day present anyone could ask for.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YYvICIBdRP8/SA4ou0Xg4tI/AAAAAAAAAOs/u3oO5GWnfwk/s1600-h/Composting+002.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YYvICIBdRP8/SA4ou0Xg4tI/AAAAAAAAAOs/u3oO5GWnfwk/s400/Composting+002.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192132205201122002" /></a>Mandy Meil enters the raffle to win a Green Zone t-shirt or tote bag.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YYvICIBdRP8/SA4o8UXg4uI/AAAAAAAAAO0/XzEIvgb5kY0/s1600-h/Composting+004.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YYvICIBdRP8/SA4o8UXg4uI/AAAAAAAAAO0/XzEIvgb5kY0/s400/Composting+004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192132437129356002" /></a>Emmanuel Houston and Jelani McFarlane pose by the display board that shows diners what can and can't be composted.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YYvICIBdRP8/SA4pMUXg4vI/AAAAAAAAAO8/SbzQgd5pKu0/s1600-h/Composting+005.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YYvICIBdRP8/SA4pMUXg4vI/AAAAAAAAAO8/SbzQgd5pKu0/s400/Composting+005.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192132712007262962" /></a>Ryne Francis is having a good time in the compost area! :)<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YYvICIBdRP8/SA4pkEXg4wI/AAAAAAAAAPE/8iiqpUHrEfE/s1600-h/Composting+006.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YYvICIBdRP8/SA4pkEXg4wI/AAAAAAAAAPE/8iiqpUHrEfE/s400/Composting+006.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192133120029156098" /></a>MAC employee Mike Baker dumps compost into a separate outside container.

Your interest and participation are what makes it possible for us to make these positive environmental steps. We will be composting trash at Mustang Alley for the remainder of the semester, so be sure to check out the display board of what can and can't be composted - you'll be surprised how much can! And to all who entered the raffle to win a free t-shirt or tote bag, good luck! We'll be contacting all winners tomorrow.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8582385219925103741-8217271449251563610?l=morrisvilleauxiliary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13264340488137635573noreply@blogger.com1
