Our Initiatives
1
Composting Initiative
The composting initiative at our local high school, spearheaded by our club, aims to promote sustainability and reduce waste within our campus. Through this initiative, we have implemented a system to collect all uneaten food from school lunches for composting purposes. By diverting this organic waste from landfills, we can create nutrient-rich compost that can be used to enrich the soil in our school garden or donated to local community gardens.

Education Initiative
The Wilbur Cross Environmental Club is leading an education movement within our school to raise awareness about the significance of composting and reducing waste that ends up in landfills.
