Day 2 of the LLLs project

We're on day 2 of activities and I think there is more that awaits us. In the morning we've done some energizers to wake us up. We took a walk in the forest and we've played something called deer and wolves. It was a fascinant moment, for it reminded me of a joyful time in the past. We were discussing about what nature means to us and what we can do to protect it. We were also taught that we have to live more sustainable so as to make our life easier and to be against of wasting resources. Everything is good so far, especially the meals. The staff is nice and my collegues also. I can't wait to learn about gardening 😜. I was obsessed with ecology when I was little, and seeing that we will learn about how to grow your own garden I can only be eager towards it.

Many people don't know the difference between recycling and separating. Separating stands for dividing waste into plastic, paper and glass. Recycling is making things from materials that...

Turning food waste into organic fertilizer creates economic and enviromental benefits, which can improve soil health, help reduce erosion and improve water quality. By composting your unwanted food waste, you are energizing the soil for future plant growth. Organic fertilizer is the best food for the soil, it is a good source of nutrients and mironutrients for the plants which are essential for them to grow. Even when all actions have been taken to use your wasted food, certain inedible parts will still remain and can be turned into compost to feed and nourish the soil. Like yard waste, food waste scraps can also be composted. What is compost? Compost is created by combining organic waste such as wasted food, yard trimmings and manures, in the right ratios into piles, rows or vessels.
