Think of it as the green Schlitz. Some suggestions we've heard of as good project ideas are environmentally friendly climbing ropes, bamboo t-shirts, or organic food for trips. In these cases, ESD would fund the cost difference between the normal and improved product. Here is what you should include in your application: Description of project/event, etc - What is your idea? When will you start? Breakdown of expenses - How will the money be spent? Environmental benefits - Why is this an effective use of funds? How does it improve sustainable practices in the DOC or at Dartmouth? Applications do not have to be very long, but your idea should be clearly planned out. DUE DATE: Monday, November 15th If you have any questions or would like to be more involved in the environmental studies division of the DOC, blitz ESD or Ben Hughey `~..~`*`~..~`*`~..~`*`~..~`*`~..~`*`~..~`*`~..~`*`~~`*`~..~`*`~..~`*`~~`*` COMPOST COMPOST COMPOST Interested in improving the HOP's composting sytem by educating the Dartmouth community on how to compost?

The prison grows an abundance of vegetables for use at their facility and also for use at the State Street School. The school then collects all food waste from the cafeteria and takes it back to the prison for composting (the school site is contaminated, so they cannot process their compost at their location). The problem is, young students don't know enough about composting to sort their food waste, recyclables, etc. and there are not enough staff members to help the students sort their waste after they eat. What the school really needs are compost buddies/educators to teach the kids at lunch where to put what waste (signs on bins can only do so much). Bob Cerra, the director of food services, is really passionate about local agriculture and wants to make sure the systems they have in place can really close the loop- farm to plate and back to farm as compost. The lunch hours are about from 11am-1pm Monday through Friday. Help even one day a week would make a huge difference!
