Hey All-
This is our weekly update of whats going on in Tivoli 243, or better known as the Center for Urban Connections. This week, our topic is all about composting. If you aren't aware of what composting entails, lets begin with a brief history. Composting is the decomposition of plant remains and other once-living materials to make an earthy, dark, crumbly substance that is excellent for adding to houseplants or enriching garden soil. It is the way to recycle your yard and kitchen wastes, and is a critical step in reducing the volume of garbage needlessly sent to landfills for disposal. Many states in the U.S. are coming up with legislation to reduce the amount of waste streams in landfills.
Here on campus, there are a couple of ways to get involved. There is a new group called Auraria Composting. This group is informing students about composting by showing movies and providing great information and discussion.
Composting at Auraria club met on February 24, and will meet on March 10th to watch the movie Fresh. The club will also hand out seed bombs and talk about information relevant to composting and gardening.
Be sure to stop by!
