The Green Team and Vermiculture

This year I signed up to take part in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection's Green Team environmental club for Massachusetts schools. Their mission is to "...educate our youth about the importance of energy conservation, recycling and other actions they can take to help protect our environment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions."

As part of the Green Team we received our very own Worm Bin! The worms were shipped live from The Worm Ladies in Rhode Island, and Amy Donovan from the Franklin County Solid Waste Management District brought us the bins. Amy was also kind enough to come into my classroom to present information to the students, and help us set up our worm bin. I'm excited to have students monitor and observe the bin for the rest of the year.
