C
A compost (program at the Wesley School in Los Angeles is helping kindergarten
through eighth grade students to teach them ways to solve human-driven climate change.For the
past year,5,200 pounds of food waste from the school has gone into compost containers rather
than a landfill where it would just break down and produce planet-warming gases.
The school workers could have easily thrown the food waste into a city-provided green bin
)But taking it out of sight,which would have been easier,would have missed the point,
says science teacher Johnna Hampton."When it's invisible like that,they don't see it,but they
know it doesn't sink in(心安).”
When sixth grader Finn saw the finished compost pile,it sank in."That's my orange chicken
in there,"he says."That's not just like any food.Somewhere in there is my food."

that want to use it at home,and whatever is left will be donated.

climate action outside of school.Along with several other fifth graders,Sloane says,"We did a
lemonade stand at our friend's house and we made over $200,and we donated it."They also
helped create a petition (to replace the plastic forks and spoons in the school cafeteria with
compostable ones.
Fifth grader Kingston was excited to learn his food waste will help grow new food on campus.
"It feels good that you're doing something that helps the planet,instead of just sitting and
