To principal
Why should we let our entire garden shrivel to a wilted shadow of itself, when we could harness the nutrients of our leftovers to return our garden to a spotlight of beauty? What makes a garden healthy? You might think of good fertilizer, enough water or enough sunlight, but the real answer is simple:compost. The Australian Institute of Biology completed a recent study, stating that 87% of gardens which harnessed compost were healthier than those that did not, and that everyone should compost their food scraps. They also found that 89% of nutrients from the food waste are transferred into the plant. Another reason why compost must be used is that it saves an extreme amount of money. Every time you buy a bag of compost from the store, money is going down the drain as if it was water coming down from the tap. Instead, schools like this one can just compost their food scraps. It is as easy as that. Now you can use all that extra money to buy other essential school supplies for education like screens that don’t turn off every 5 minutes. We must work together to create a composting program at this great school.
